But this year the oyster crop has taken a massive hit and oystermen are struggling to find live oysters. From salinity to tropical weather, A.B. SIDIBE Staff Writer It appears a myriad of reasons are being put forward to explain the near-collapse of the oyster industry in the state. Last week during a visit to Franklin County, Gov Rick Scott suggested the federal government release more fresh water from a Georgia lake to offer proper balance for oysters in their Panhandle delta reefs. State agriculture officials say the severe drought and heat created an imbalance with the special mix of salt and fresh water needed for robust oyster growth. The head of a fishermen's group in Wakulla County blames the industry's woes on storms and over-harvest. Mark Berrigan, aquaculture devel- opment chief of the Florida Depart- ment of Agriculture, said while oysters are resilient, hot water stress can wreak havoc with oyster beds. "I think the drought we had in past few years contributed to the high salinity in the estuaries," Berrigan said. He said the salinity, coupled with high water temperatures this sum- mer, stressed the oyster beds and per- haps helped strengthen an oyster parasite called Perkinsus Marinus or dermo. "This parasite is already in oysters and during the extreme summer heat, they can kill some of the oys- ters," Berrigan said. He said the past years' drought has been the worst in decades, causing levels of many rivers that empty into experts have plenty of opinions Billie Jo Booth goes through each individual oyster searching for a live specimen. Experts point to a variety of reasons for the sudden drop in oyster harvests. Gov. Rick Scott wants the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to release more fresh water from Lake Lanier in Georgia, a federal reservoir. the Gulf in the Big Bend area to diminish. Berrigan said officials recently conducted checks on baby oyster or spats and found enough of them thriving to engineer a comeback sea- son, "but we wouldn't know for sure until we check again in the spring." He said the Big Bend area has been through similar droughts and oyster bed deaths, but this year's problems seem to be more widespread. Berri- gan said one of the lingering issues for the season also would have to be about dealing with another issue. "I think a lot of the oyster beds from last year have already been har- vested, which would mean there wouldn't be any oysters left in those areas," he said. Gov Scott wants the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to release more fresh water from Lake Lanier in Georgia, a See Page A7 So far, so good.

William Bunch, owner of Oysters Restaurant in Crys- tal River, said his supplies of the shellfish are uninterrupted. - Bunch, however, has no- - ticed subtle changes. The oysters used to come opened, but no longer are and the price for a box jumped from $18 to the low $20s. U.. "But, so far so good. We . continue to offer it and we . are getting our supplies," .. Bunch said.

See Page A7 The tongs are one of the standard tools used by oystermen. A.B. SIDIBE Staff Writer The dearth of oysters just a little more than a month into the season has yet to trickle down to consumers, but if the scarcity persists diners will feel the pinch soon. Local coastal seafood businesses already have noticed slight increases in oyster prices. Marie Price of Charlie's Fish House in Crystal River said they have no- ticed a rise in the past month. "It has gone from $12.99 a pint to $14.99 a pint," Price said. "So we are keeping an eye on it, but unless they go back to the way things were, I think (oysters) will only get more expensive." She said though Char- lie's restaurant has not made any changes to its menu prices yet, things Dying oyster beds crippling once-thriving industry A.B. SIDIBE Staff Writer -CEDAR KEY t is written large on the faces of the hard- scrabble oystermen and -women. Their skins are deeply browned and creased from years, days and hours of exposure to the unrelenting and lingering Florida sun. The people are part of the multi-generational tra- dition of extracting gnarly, irregular-shaped mollusks - oysters from the sounds and bays that dot the state's Big Bend area. From Waccasassa Bay on through the Suwannee Sound past the bend into Apalachicola Bay, their in- dustry and way of life is besieged by the vagaries climate and what some de- scribe as government in- flexibility regarding rules. So far, the 2012 oyster season, which began Sept. 1, is widely regarded as poor and perhaps the most extensive failure of the oyster reefs in generations. Ten percent of the na- tion's oyster supplies and 90 percent of the state's supplies come from this region. In an industry where a typical harvester can haul in an average of 15 bushels of oysters a day, this year the oystermen struggle to make two to four bushels. "Oysters are dead. The oysters are dead," Danny Beckham shouted over the whir of his skiff's motor as he plowed through white foam in his wake heading recently to an estuary on the southern reaches of the Suwannee Sound. "The question is, what are we going to do about it?" He said the dying oyster beds, and what he consid- ers restrictions placed on oystermen like him, are conspiring to end a mar- itime heritage. "My family has done this for four generations. I have done it for 55 years. My grandson comes out here after school to do it, too," Beckham said. "I feel like we are in the middle of the end for what we do." Little to show for lots of work Upon arrival at an estu- ary near the Gulf of Mex- ico, three other skiffs were anchored over the oyster reefs in estimated 6-foot- deep water Men wielded 10-foot-long, scissor-like rakes called tongs to dredge the bivalves from the bottom. The oysters are then heaved over the tiny skiff's gunwale and dumped on the bow for culling. As his boat approached the others, Beckham heard a familiar sound: Oysters crack and rattle as See Page A7 MORE See more photos from Cedar Key/Page A6 View a slideshow with this story online.

TODAY & next morning HIGH 90 LOW 69 Prices for oysters starting to climb I-- S o IU I N DL - I INS111(IDEI 0 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE BP fine might be windfall for Levy Estimate ranges from $2.;7 to $10.9 million Lou ELLIOTT JONES Chiefland Citizen When the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and crude oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico, folks in Levy County warily watched to see if oil would reach the county's coastlines and clam beds. While the oil came no closer than 250 miles, it af- fected Levy's tourism and aquaculture businesses as visitors vacationed else- where and stopped buying Florida seafood, fearing contamination. Now the county could re- ceive a share of the fines to be paid by BP operator of the oil rig under the fed- eral Clean Water Act. A Florida Association of Counties (FAC) consultant told the Levy County Com- mission in its Tuesday meet- ing BP is expected to be fined between $5 billion to $20 billion, with Levy's share being between $2.7 and $10.9 million. FAC con- sultant Doug Darling said the county should join the Gulf Consortium a group of counties along the Gulf that will facilitate receiving the money from a trust fund established by Congress and send to the five states af- fected by the spill instead of going to the federal government. "There are those who would like this to fail," he said. The consortium is a way to have the ability to spend the money "without being dictated to." "The consortium will be in the driver's seat," Darling said. The county agreed and will pay the $640 share of the money to join the con- sortium. Commissioner Ryan Bell of Chiefland, R- District 4, was appointed as its representative, because his district includes Cedar Key, the county's major tourism and aquaculture spot. The commission also named Commissioner Mar- sha Drew of Yankeetown, D- District 3, and county coordinator Fred Moody as alternates. The consortium will meet for the first time Oct 22 in Tallahassee. Darling ran through a laundry list of ways the RE- STORE Act, passed by Con- gress earlier this year, can be spent. The list includes ecological, wildlife and nat- ural resource restoration, promoting seafood and tourism, economic develop- ment, port infrastructure, workforce development and job creation. "There's not much on that list that would not benefit your county," Darling said. Another fund shared by six federal agencies and five states would provide money for more focused projects. "You could spend it on oyster renourishment or seagrass renourishment," he said, adding the county should take its comprehen- sive plan off the shelf and use it in planning how to spend the money He noted other money is coming from the spill that the county could share since it is specifically for the 23 Florida counties on the Gulf. "This 30 percent could be $300 million to $1 billion and Florida gets 19 to 20 percent of this," Darling said. Commission Chairman Danny Stevens of Williston, D-District 5, asked whether the consortium had an expi- ration date. Darling said it will continue "until all the money is exhausted." He re- minded the commission the settlement from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska in 1989 is still coming in. Darling said a federal trial is due to start in mid- January in Louisiana to as- sess fault in the Deepwater Horizon incident, but BP is expected to settle out of court Lou Elliott Jones is editor of the Chronicle's sister newspaper the Chiefland Citizen and can be emailed at editor@chieflandcitizen. Levy seeks BP marketing money Lou ELLIOTT JONES Chiefland Citizen The Levy County tourism director has learned market- ing money from BP is avail- able to promote tourism and Florida fresh seafood, and she is going after it despite a short deadline. It is part of a $57 million fund created in April as part of a court settlement by BP to defray the effects of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in 2010. Carol McQueen, director of the Tourist Development Council and Levy Visitor Bu- reau, told the Levy County Commission on Tuesday the money is being made avail- able by BP as a result of the oil spill. She said the maxi- mum amount available is $500,000, but she will apply for $200,000. She said the money can be used for pro- motion of aquaculture, fish- ing, festivals and production of videos, among other items. "I just learned about this on Thursday," she said in ex- plaining why she had a non- agenda item to bring before the commission. The deadline to apply was Friday, Oct. 5, she said.

'A smile on his face' Family,friends reminisce about Vaccianna 's life ERYN WORTHINGTON Staff Writer He stood outside of the church doors offering everyone a big smile and firm handshake. He held his smile and talked about the many fond memories of his son. The pain could be heard, though, through his voice as he prepared himself for his son's memorial service. A memorial service for Derrick Vaccianna, 28, of Hernando, was Saturday at The New Church Without Walls in Hernando. According to earlier reports, Vaccianna was involved in a con- frontation and tussle with Citrus County Sheriff's Deputy Gregory Entrekin and a then-unnamed woman at her residence on Eden Drive. Following the confronta- tion, the off-duty deputy fired a shot, striking Vaccianna in the chest. Vaccianna was transported to Citrus Memorial Health Sys- tem where he later died. Friends and family joined the Vaccianna family Saturday to cel- ebrate his life. "I'm convinced that everyone is here today not to celebrate that Derrick died but that he lived," Frederick Simmons said. Many tears were shed, but even more smiles were shown. Those who spoke in front of the crowd spoke of Vaccianna's "conta- gious" smile. "You couldn't run into Derrick and not be moved by the spirit that he had in him," Simmons said. Simmons described Vac- cianna's love for sports and com- petition on the field. He illustrated how he and Vaccianna played a game called "21" on the basketball court. Simmons told the crowd he "beat the pants off Derrick." As they chuckled, Simmons said it made him feel good about himself. "Even after losing really bad, a couple of times, he still had a smile on his face," Simmons said. The next Sunday, Vaccianna showed up at church with a soc- cer ball. Vaccianna then "beat the pants off" Simmons. The congre- gation laughed, knowing of Vac- cianna's soccer capabilities. "I was like 'Man I suck'," Sim- mons said. "Derrick was like 'No, you don't suck. I just changed the game on you.' That's what we can all learn from Derrick is to change the game." Simmons said this was the type of "swag" that Vaccianna had. New Church Without Walls pastor Doug Alexander inter- preted "swag" as Vaccianna being "cool." Alexander said he got it from his parents, Derrick and Dorothea Vaccianna. "Derrick touched many lives," Alexander said. "He was a very respectful young man. He always said 'Yes, ma'am' and 'Yes, sir' He was a great young man with a great upbringing. He got his swag from his parents." Simmons explained the memo- ries everyone has is because Vac- cianna lived. He linked Vaccianna's life, smile and the love for soccer as one. His passion for soccer was vis- ible at his memorial. Signatures and messages were written all over a soccer ball passed around the church for family and friends to sign. Vaccianna's memorial service included a personal touch from his brother, Kevin Vaccianna. He wrote a poem describing how God needed one more player for his soccer team. Kevin Vaccianna DAVE SIGLER/Chronicle ABOVE: Dr. Douglas Alexander Sr. opens the memorial service for the family and friends of Derrick N.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE 3 arrested in fraud, burglary case ERYN WORTHINGTON Staff Writer Two men and a woman are facing charges of conveyance burglary in which they allegedly broke into un- locked vehicles looking for valuables. One man is facing additional charges of residential burglary, crimi- nal use of personal identification in- formation, forgery with intent to defraud and publish a forged instru- ment with intent to defraud. Thomas Earl Smail, 29, S. Shady Terrace, Inverness; John Brian Mur- phy, 32, E. Finland Lane, Dunnellon; and Felicia Marie Black, 23, E. Fin- land Lane, Dunnellon; were arrested Friday on charges of conveyance bur- glary, conspired with another person and grand theft.

Smail's bond is $46,000 because of his additional charges. According to the arrest affidavits, the three felons would stay in local ho- tels, smoke methamphetamine and leave to commit conveyance burgla- ries in residential areas of Citrus Hills and Homosassa. They would enter unlocked vehicles looking for valuables while one of them would be a lookout. Lowe's video surveillance shows, in one case, Black and Smail used a stolen Lowe's credit card to purchase gas cards in excess of $100. In another case, a stolen checkbook was found in the vehicle driven by Murphy Smail admitted to writing a check for $250 and forging the victim's signature. Smail also admitted to using a stolen identification and passing the check at the Suncoast Schools Bank in Inverness. He placed his thumbprint on the stolen check. The thumbprint was later matched to Smail. After a positive K9 alert was con- ducted on Murphy's and Black's vehi- cles, a search revealed numerous stolen items belonging to victims of seven conveyance burglaries and one residential burglary Smail and Murphy were placed under arrest at the Citrus County De- tention facility and were incarcerated for other charges related to the affidavit. Black was released on her own recognizance. Worth NOTING quested as issues are worked through. Flaunt photos of fall foliage Do you miss watching the leaves change color?

The court heard argu- ments in a range of contro- versial cases that included a parental-rights fight be- tween former lesbian part- ners; an undocumented immigrant's attempt to be- come a lawyer; a long- running debate about nu- clear-power costs; and a dis- pute about university tuition. Meanwhile, three justices fought back in a political battle with Republican leaders and conservatives who want them replaced. Outside the court, regula- tors approved new rates for Citizens Property Insurance Corp. customers for 2013, while business groups and the state's consumer advo- cate traded salvos about an effort to reduce the number of policies in the state- backed insurance pool. JUDGES ON HOT SEAT The Supreme Court typi- cally hears oral arguments one week each month. And this week was a doozy The court heard argu- ments about whether the Florida Board of Governors has the power to determine tuition and fees for public universities, a power that, if granted, would take that au- thority away from the Legislature. A skeptical court listened as an attorney for a group led by former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham argued a 2002 con- stitutional amendment es- tablishing the Board of Governors implicitly gave it the authority to set tuition and fees. Justices also said they may be powerless to let an undocumented immigrant practice law in the state, de- spite recent federal moves to create a pathway to per- manent status for immi- grants brought to the coun- try as children. In a case that has drawn national attention, the Florida Board of Bar Exam- iners asked justices to weigh in on whether it should waive rules, set up in 2008, and allow Jose Godinez-Samperio to be ac- cepted as a Bar member de- spite the fact he is illegally residing in the country In another case, the court raised doubts about a chal- lenge to a 2006 law that has led to customers of two util- ities paying for future nu- clear reactors that might not be built. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy filed the legal challenge after the PSC late last year approved allowing Florida Power & Light and Progress Energy Florida to pass along $282 million in nuclear-project costs to cus- tomers in 2012. From nuclear power to nuclear family, the court also heard arguments in a legal battle that raises new questions about parental rights after the break-up of same-sex relationships. A Brevard County case pits two women who were lesbian partners when they decided to have a child. It is unique because one of the women provided an egg that was fertilized and im- planted in the other woman, who later gave birth. After the relationship ended, the woman who gave birth blocked her former partner from having parental rights. Florida law gives egg or sperm donors limited rights, but some justices wondered if the laws were written with anonymous donors in mind and did not reflect other situations. At one point, Justice Bar- bara Pariente raised the sce- nario of a man who impregnates a woman in a "one-night stand" and re- ceives parental rights. She questioned whether two women who decide to raise a child should have lesser rights and said that could cre- ate issues of equal protection. In most years, merit re- tention votes don't draw much attention, as sitting appellate judges and Supreme Court justices qui- etly return to office. This year, some conserva- tive groups and the Repub- lican Party of Florida are attempting to unseat three veteran justices who have repeatedly come under fire from conservatives for rul- ings going back more than a decade. On Friday, Justices R. Fred Lewis, Barbara Pari- ente and Peggy Quince at- tended a forum at the Florida State University College of Law to talk about merit retention as the trio tries to counter the push to send them packing. Collectively, they have raised more than $1 million to keep their jobs. Last month, the RPOF voted to officially oppose the justices for a series of rulings that have not gone Republicans' way Among others joining the fight is Americans for Pros- perity, a group funded by conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch. The justices have been joined by a group, Defend Justice from Politics, which supports their retention efforts. CITIZENS IN THE NEWS The state-backed insurer was in the news this week as the Florida Office of Insur- ance Regulation approved rates for 2013 that will boost premiums by 10.8 percent for Citizens Property Insur- ance Corp. customers. Following more than a month of review and multi- ple hearings by Citizens board members and the agency, OIR approved new rates that will affect most of the company's 1.4 million customers on policies re- newed after Jan. 1. State lawmakers and OIR officials have been trying to boost Citizens rates in re- cent years to make them more comparable to rates that would be charged by the private market in some of the riskiest areas of the state. Lawmakers, however, lim- ited annual increases to 10 percent, a cap critics say has hindered efforts to depopu- late the state-run pool that has become the largest property insurer in the state. The cap, however, does not include higher costs for hurricane catastro- phe insurance, resulting in rates climbing higher than 10 percent The rate hikes come amid growing efforts by Citizens to reduce its ranks. This week, a plan to use $350 mil- lion in surplus to coax pri- vate companies into taking policies out of Citizens drew concern from Florida's in- surance consumer advo- cate, who called on the insurer to provide much more data surrounding the proposed loan program. In a letter to Citizens Chairman Carlos Lacasa, consumer advocate Robin Westcott put forth a lengthy list of questions surround- ing a deal approved in Sep- tember by Citizens' board of governors to provide 20- year, low-interest loans to private carriers to partially offset the risks associated with Citizens policies. Business groups, led by Associated Industries of Florida, jumped to Citizens' defense, saying the loan program is needed to help re-invigorate the state's pri- vate insurance market ELECTION UPDATE Florida's effort to remove non-citizens from the ranks of voters took another step forward this week. A federal judge ruled there's no time limit for the state to push for the removal of voters who were never supposed to be registered, and an effort to clean the rolls of non-citizens can con- tinue until the November election. Judge William Zloch ruled Secretary of State Ken Detzner is within the law in seeking the removal of voters from the rolls who were never supposed to be there. Opponents con- tended federal law pre- vented such purges within 90 days of the election. "Certainly, the 'National Voter Registration Act' does not require the State to idle on the sidelines until a non- citizen violates the law be- fore the State can act," Zloch wrote. STORY OF THE WEEK: The Florida Supreme Court took up a se- ries of high-profile cases, which dealt with issues such as university tuition, nuclear power costs and the admission of an undocu- mented immigrant to the Florida Bar QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "So if you have sex the good old-fashioned way it's constitutional, but any- thing else" doesn't get the same status?

OYSTER Continued from PageAl they were being dumped on skiff bows. "Did you hear that? They are dead. It sounds like bro- ken glass because the shells are empty," Beckham said. The men continued to plunge the rusty, iron-forged tongs into the shell-laden bottom and in a shallow arc dump more of it onto their boat bows. The sun hung high with some clouds in the distance as the ritual continued. A lean woman wearing sunglasses, a well-worn baseball hat and football jersey sat with a hammer- like culling iron, ferreting the good from the bad. Her hands, like the oth- ers, are rough hewn. In her holding hand, she had on a Kevlar-type glove. Mike Roach, who was working solo, had his bow piled high with oysters. After five hours of deliber- ate and muscle-fueled work, he had only two bushels. "Hopefully, I can get an- other bushel from this," Roach said, pointing to his pile. George Stevens had also been there for hours, but only had two bushels. "That's like $50 from working all day," Stevens said. "We used to make $150 to $200 a day," he added. Ronald Fred Crum, head of the Wakulla Fishermen's Association, which also rep- resents the oystermen, said he has been working over- time to find solutions for an industry in crisis. Crum said the industry workers need help and soon. "We can't and should not shut down the season as some are suggesting. We need some entitlements, help for these people. We should subsidize what they are making right now and allow the industry to re- cover in about two years," Crum said. "Let's reward effort and hard work. These people have families and bills to pay They need help and we need answers," he added. MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle Danny Beckham has been an oysterman for 55 years. Beckham says that, in years past, a hard day on the water would yield about 20 bushels of oysters. Today, he's lucky to catch two bushels in the same amount of time. The close-knit fishing community in Cedar Key has been hit hard by the difficult times. Cedar Key oysterman Beckham has been supple- menting his meager harvest with a smoked mullet and dip business, but said sales from that business are hardly sufficient to offset the loss of revenue from the scant season. Oysters typically take 15 to 18 months to recover, which means next year's season also could be af- fected. Oyster season run through May Gov Rick Scott visited Franklin County on Wednes- day and said up to 2,500 jobs are at risk in that county alone because of the poor harvest. We can't and should not shut down the season as some are suggesting. We need some entitlements, help for these people. We should subsidize what they are making right now. Ronald Fred Crum Wakulla County Fishermen's Association. Scott has declared an emergency from Levy to Franklin counties. The emergency declaration means the counties involved will now be eligible for fed- eral aid. Day in and day out, the oystermen continue to search for their quarry, hoping in time the fishing will improve. EXPERTS Continued from PageAl federal reservoir.

Sandy Stone, owner of Sandy's Produce and who sells fresh oysters at the corner of County Road 24 and Wooten Avenue in Cedar Key, said her proximity to the har- vesters is helping keep her stocked. "The oysters are not as plentiful as they used to be, but I get what I need," she said.

If not, the industry will be destroyed." We are getting supplies right now, but it is scary what could happen in the future.

"We are getting supplies right now, but it is scary what could happen in the future," she said. "People depend on oysters around here." I SAVED $150 ON MY AIR DUCT REPAIRS.

Greaves, a pop singer whose "Take a Letter, Maria" was a 1969 hit, died Sept. 27 in Los SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 All Angeles. He was 68. Ronald Bertram Greaves died of prostate cancer at his home, said Craig Harvey, Los Angeles County coro- ner's chief of operations. Greaves was a nephew of the legendary R&B singer Sam Cook. He was born on a U.S. Air Force base in the former British Guyana. Living in the United King- dom in the 1960s, he recorded several soul sin- gles as Sonny Childe. It was after moving to the United States that he scored his biggest hit as R.B. Greaves. "Take a Letter, Maria" tells the story of a man who comes home to find "the woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man." He dictates a final letter to her through his secretary with the chorus: "Take a let- ter, Maria. Address it to my wife. Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life."

(Yes, midlife. He plans to live to be 126.) He told his wife, Carol, he was thinking of getting a tattoo. "Of what?" "Oh, I don't '. know," he said. "I was thinking of a crow." Ty has been reading a lot of JI mysteries that take place in the MUL West and contain Native American mysticism, with birds taking on a spe- cial meaning. He also likes the Brandon Lee revenge film classic "The Crow," and was thinking of a large, menacing bird tattooed across his ever-widening, hairy shoulder Carol reads British mys- teries, and birds and tattoos do not play much of a part in most of them. "Why a tattoo? Why a crow? What's going on?" "I don't know," he said. "I feel like I would be a crow if I were a bird. It's a symbol. It can mean a lot of different things. I want to be different, not like everybody else." "Crows are nasty, noisy birds," Carol said. "Why don't you get a chicken? I like chickens." Ty was dumbstruck. A chicken? What kind of a tat- too is that? The whole point of getting a tattoo is to show people how tough you are, what a renegade you are, how you march to your own drummer, how you do things your way Is that what Carol thought he would be if he were a bird? A chicken? Besides, people would laugh at him if he got a chicken tattoo. Ty wanted the same kind of tattoo the other renegades had. Carol probably meant chickens were cute, but Ty didn't see it that way "What about a turkey?" Carol asked. She was think- ing of a wild turkey, tail dis- played. Ty pictured a Thanksgiving turkey, golden brown and sitting on a plat- ter It was not a macho image at all. It was obvious Carol did not know current tattoo trends. If he really wanted to be a renegade, he'd need a lot more than a crow. He'd need the tree where the crow lived and then maybe a scene from the Movie, and it I would all have to be held together with vines and M mystical symbols that would climb LEN his arm from his wrist to his shoul- der Then he'd have to start on the other side. "I've heard it hurts to get a tattoo," Carol rattled on. "You know, they use a little needle gun to do that. Then it scars over until it heals. You would- n't even get a flu shot last year because of the needle." He had forgotten about that Maybe they could give him some Novocain. No, they do that with a needle. Surely there's something they could rub on his arm so he wouldn't feel it Ty started wondering how small a crow he could stand. But if it were too small, no one would see it. "A parrot," said Carol. "Now that would be something." A parrot Well, there is the pirate connection. And the Jimmy Buffett connection. They're both renegades. Ty was rethinking the whole tattoo thing. A crow. That really wouldn't say anything except he got a tat- too. He wanted to send a message he might be 63 and have gray hair, but he didn't act the way people expect an old person to act. "What about a penguin?" Carol said. "I really like penguins." Ty thought about it "So do I," he said.

HXPeXl Enduring America's longest war Mother mourns grim milestone for Afghan war ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer Lisa Freeman was cradling her 6-day-old grandson in her left arm and watching the news on her iPad while her daughter and son-in-law caught some much-needed sleep. The retired teacher was taking notes with her free hand when she heard the news: The nation had suf- fered its 2,000th casualty in the Afghan war On Sept 29, Army Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Metcalfe was on patrol in the country's rugged Wardak Province when his unit came under small-arms fire. As the announcer droned on, all Freeman could do was shake her head and stare at little Matthew named for an uncle he would never know. Marine Capt. Matthew C. Freeman fell to a sniper's bullet Aug. 7, 2009, northeast of Kabul, not far from where Metcalfe perished. It is almost certain Met- calfe and Freeman both 29 when they died never met. Freeman grew up in the Savannah suburb of Richmond Hill, Ga.; Met- calfe was from the village of Liverpool, N.Y, population about 2,400, a few miles north of Syracuse. Nonetheless, they were brothers, casualties in what has become America's longest war Looking at the number 2,000 on the small, glass screen, Lisa Freeman felt as if she'd lost her son all over again. "I just sat here, reliving the pain and wondering: Where is America's outrage? Where is America's concern that we're still at war?" "I walk around this coun- try and look in faces that don't even know we're at war anymore. People (who) are going about their everyday lives, not realizing that they've been kept safe by this amazing group of young men and women who have been willing to sacrifice so much." She has reason to be bit- ter And yet, her son's story is a shining example of how each life and death - touches so many others. She and all who loved him are bound to others in a spread- ing web of loss and grief, and they do not mourn alone. Freeman's story Matthew Freeman excelled at everything he set his mind to Eagle Scout, honor roll, student council president So no one was surprised when he won an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, follow- ing in his father's footsteps. After graduation in 2002, the son and grandson of naval aviators took his commission in the Marine Corps and went for jets. Freeman was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, in the sum- mer of 2009 when a resurgent Taliban began retaking areas once thought pacified.

In July 2009, Freeman made a secret trip home to marry his high school sweetheart, Theresa Hess. He wanted to make sure she would be notified and taken care of-- should any- thing happen to him. They married July 10, 2009. Thirteen days later, he shipped out Barely two weeks into his deployment, Freeman and a fire support team set out for reconnaissance in the Shpee Valley when they came under almost immediate enemy attack and became pinned down. According to an official account, Freeman fought his way into a nearby building and up to the roof to get a better angle on the enemy position. Once atop, he spotted an insurgent with a rocket- propelled grenade and was firing at the man when he was shot in the back of the head. A comrade told Lisa Freeman her son was found with his finger on the trigger of his rifle; its magazine was nearly empty.

When the woman called back to thank him for the sketch, he was overcome with emotion. Reagan turned to his wife and said, "We need to do them all." Thus was born the Fallen Heroes Project. At the be- ginning, a general asked whether Reagan understood what he had gotten himself in for. Reagan replied he fig- ured the wars would last five years, and he would have to no more than 1,500 portraits. He has done 3,100 so far. And every day, he gets at least one email, requesting another "I haven't drawn 3,100 NATION portraits," he said. "I've drawn one. ... Every one is too many for me." The 65-year-old artist wakes around 4 a.m. each morning. He "cooks" his cof- fee, feeds his cats and sits down at his drawing table. Each portrait takes about five hours, though some take longer and he has done as many as four in one day to have them ready in time for funerals or memorial services. He walks five miles each night, "to just be able to get air back in me." Reagan works from videos and favorite photos - some showing the person in civilian life. People send him letters and diary en- tries from the deceased. "So when I draw," he said, "I feel like I'm having a conversation."

It has become part of his mission to re- mind them why our troops are still there, that the war serves to protect the United States. "Americans need to have a long view," he said.

Woman waits for news about possible infection Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Patsy Bivins tossed and turned all night after find- ing out the steroid shot she received to ease her chronic back pain could instead threaten her life. For now, all the 68-year- old retired waitress can do is hope she doesn't develop the telltale signs of a rare form of fungal meningitis health officials said has sickened more than 60 peo- ple in nine states: a splitting headache, fever, stiff neck, difficulty walking or wors- ening back pain. There may be hundreds or even thou- sands more like her. She called her doctors Associated Press Patsy Bivins, 68, of Sturgis, Ky., kneels down while walking her dog Little Britches at her apartment Friday. Bivins was injected with steroids at St. Mary Sugricare in Evansville, Ind., who notified her of possibly being infected with fungal meningitis. Friday, right after her first cup of coffee, hoping to re- lieve the anxiety stirred a day earlier when she learned she might be at risk. Bivins was told only she did- n't need to be checked un- less she developed symptoms. "I'm not sure if I like it," Bivins, of Sturgis, Ky., said Friday in a telephone inter- view with The Associated Press. "Seems like there should be some way to tell it before you get the symp- toms. Honestly, it makes me worse than I was." Federal health officials said seven people have died so far, and they fear thou- sands more could have been exposed. The Centers for Disease Control and Pre- vention has said the out- break may have been caused by a steroid made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts, where in- spectors found at least one sealed vial that was contam- inated. It's not yet clear how the fungus got into the steroid, which is commonly used to treat back pain. But officials have told health professionals not to use any- thing made by the pharmacy So far, the government has identified about 75 fa- cilities in 23 states that re- ceived the recalled doses. Outsourcer brings jobs to rural village Associated Press SIMAYAL, India They come to- gether each morning from the slop- ing forests. Some walk for more than an hour along muddy foot- paths past terraced farms stacked like soft green steps. Some race their new motorbikes down narrow, cracked roads cut into the hillsides. The team of young men and women wear ID cards on lanyards around their necks and have the rarest of commodities in rural India, a company job. They work mainly in data pro- cessing for a 3-year-old business called B2R that is using the spread of the Internet to transport India's outsourcing boom from metropoli- tan Bangalore and the suburbs of New Delhi to this speck of a farming village in the Himalayan foothills. Before B2R arrived, Simayal was being drained of its bright young men as they left for cities to search for work. Its women had little op- tion but to wed right out of school. Nearly everyone's survival was tied to the whim of the rains and prayers for a strong harvest. Now, men are staying. Some who left have returned. Many women have put off marriage to work and are helping to support their fami- lies. Other new businesses are opening up. The 50 new jobs B2R created brought a "glimmer of hope" to the 110 families in this cluster of farm- ing hamlets barely touched by India's economic transformation over the past two decades, said VK.

Davutoglu insisted that "we haven't taken a step toward war," but Turkey's threat to fire back for each errant Syr- ian shell was bound to keep border tensions high. Turkey is one ofAssad's harshest critics and a key supporter of Syria's opposition.

The Syrian regime has apologized and tried to defuse tensions by pulling some tanks back from the border, according to a Turkish Fbreign Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations. Still, the week's daily cross-border exchanges have heightened fears of a regional conflagration. Syrian mortar rounds are likely to hit Turkey again as regime forces try to retake rebel-controlled areas near the border. Two of the shells that fell in Turkey on Saturday were fired in clashes between government troops and opposition fighters in a Syrian border village. Color change ~j.

Sandusky's jurors hope for life in jail HARRISBURG, Pa. - Jerry Sandusky should be sent to prison for life when a judge sen- tences him ( Tuesday, according to several of the jurors Jerry who con- Sandusky victed the former Penn State assistant coach of molesting several boys over a period of years. None of the jurors inter- viewed by The Associated Press said they have had second thoughts about their June verdict, and several plan to attend the sentencing. Four jurors said they plan to be in the courtroom when Sandusky, 68, learns the penalty for sexually abusing boys he met through a charity for at-risk children. Sandusky's own attorney expects his client to be handed a long sentence from Judge John Cleland after conviction on 45 counts. Although a list of jurors has not been released by Cle- land, the AP was able to con- tact five of them. Bus from Canada overturns in NJ WAYNE, N.J. -Atour bus from Canada carrying about 60 people bound for New York City overturned on a highway exit ramp in northern New Jer- sey early Saturday, slid down an embankment and landed on its side, injuring 23 people on board, authorities said. The driver, who suffered a gash in his arm, told state po- lice he was cut off by another vehicle, though it was not im- mediately clear whether that caused the crash at 7:30 a.m. on eastbound Interstate 80 in Wayne. Eight of the injured passen- gers were admitted in critical condition, hospital spokes- woman Liz Asani said. Chrysler recalls Ram, Dodge trucks DETROIT Chrysler is recalling thousands of Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota trucks because of a problem with a rear axle pinion nut that could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The National Highway Traf- fic Safety Administration said the recall affects 44,300 trucks. Honda recalls 2002-2006 CR-V DETROIT Honda Motor Co. is recalling CR-V crossovers from the 2002 to 2006 model years because an electrical switch in the dri- ver's side door could melt and cause a fire. Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad- ministration announced the recall Saturday. The government agency said owners should park CR- Vs from those model years outside until the recall is per- formed, to avoid any property damage from a fire. Afire could start even when the ig- nition is off and the CR-V is parked. -From wire reports Source of hope Associated Press Shoba Bisht, second right, sits with her family Aug. 24, at the kitchen she has helped build with money earned from working at B2R, in Simayal, India.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Small olia e .J .CHRONICLE JMK a. 0B* II NL NINE CONTEST _Srd : I-: : '1 :, 1n-,e Chronicle The Citrus County Chronicle is hosting an online contest through the end of October where readers send in fall color photos. Go to www.chronicleonline/fallfoliage for information and to upload your photos each week. This week's top photo is "Mabry Mill" submitted by online user DawnJolly. Mabry Mill is on the Blue Ridge Parkway (approximately mile marker 175) in southwestern Virginia. "This is one of my favorite stretches along the parkway in the fall," DawnJolly said. Autumn puts on finery RANDALL DICKERSON Associated Press NASHVILLE shorter and nights become chillier, the annual fall foliage show is getting under way in the Southeast. The first colors are beginning to show in the higher elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is a popular draw for tourists in October Expect a good show, said Janet Rock, a botanist in the Smokies. "As long as we stay on track with the weather we've had, it should be a good year," said Rock. The shorter span of sunlight each day is the main trigger, but Rock said tem- peratures and precipitation also affect the show. "When you have warm sunny days and nights that don't reach freezing, it brings out the best colors," Rock said. The mountains weren't badly af- fected by drought conditions that burned crops to the west. Leaves change color because they're shutting down photosynthesis, which makes food for the trees. The produc- tion of green chlorophyll masks other colors. However, red pigment produc- tion also ramps up as photosynthesis shuts down. Here's the fall foliage outlook for seven states in the Appalachian Moun- tain region. GEORGIA: DOGWOODS VIVID The north Georgia mountains typi- cally showcase some of the state's brightest fall colors, and this year will be no exception, state forestry officials say Dogwood and maple trees in the upper elevations have already begun to change color, Ken Masten, a district manager with the Georgia Forestry Commission, wrote in a recent report. "If we get a cold snap in the next two weeks or so where it gets 15 or 20 de- grees colder, then the colors will be a little more vivid," said Joe Burgess, a senior forester with the Georgia Forestry Commission. The colors are a big draw in north Georgia's mountain towns, where tourists come to see the hues of the leaves and then stay to shop or catch some live music at venues such as the Crimson Moon Cafe in Dahlonega, a town 60 miles north of Atlanta. KENTUCKY: HOPE FOR RED The mountainous areas of eastern Kentucky typically put on the best fall color show in the state, thanks to the variety of species and dense canopy The first color transformations of the season are happening on dogwoods, sourgums and tulip poplars, which are showing yellows. "I think we can always count on a fair Associated Press Red leaves hang from a tree in Greens- boro, Vt. After images of Tropical Storm Irene scared away leaf peepers last fall, tourists are heading back to see fall fo- liage a year later in the Northeast and Southeast, and aren't worried about how the dry summer might affect the color. degree of color in Kentucky, especially in the east, because of this envious mix of trees that we have," said Dean Hen- son, naturalist at Pine Mountain State Park in southeastern Kentucky. He said the forests there have up to 35 species of leaf-dropping trees. The dry summer hasn't hurt the state's prospects for a colorful fall, but the weather over the next two weeks will determine if the most desirable colors the reds and purples come out this year, Henson said. NORTH CAROLINA: STARTING TO SHOW The Blue Ridge Mountains are fa- mous for showing their true colors each fall, drawing visitors from around the globe. And with dry summer days soon to be followed by cool summer nights, those bright colors may be coming sooner North Carolina's foliage season starts in earnest in the high mountain areas in October and runs through mid-No- vember, with colors cascading down to lower elevations throughout the month. In the highest areas, sourwoods are turning red, while maples are changing to shades of yellow, orange and red. High bush blueberries are turning a deep red, while sassafras is starting to turn its usual mixture of the same colors. "Following one of the hottest sum- mers on record, the North Carolina Piedmont is looking forward to a beau- tiful fall season," says Dick Thomas of the Piedmont Environmental Center SOUTH CAROLINA: EARLY START The drought that has dried up the state for much of the summer means that South Carolina's fall foliage will be vibrant and early this year Blackgum, flowering dogwood, sour- wood and sweetgum trees are already beginning to display shades from yel- low to orange and bright red. But some of those same trees are already starting to drop their leaves, due to dry conditions. Page A19 Iguazu Falls Stephen and Gloriela Hendrickson photographed this rainbow above the Iguazu Falls on their Dream Vacation to Argentina. Brazil and Paraguay can be seen in the background. The 267 falls are arranged in sort of a reverse letter "J." The border between Brazil and Argentina runs through the Devil's Throat. On the right bank is the Brazilian territory, which has just over 20 percent of the jumps of these falls, and the left-side jumps are Argentina's, and make up almost 80 percent of the falls. DREAM VACATIONS The Chronicle and The Accent Travel Group are sponsoring a photo con- test for readers of the newspaper. Readers are invited to send a photograph from their Dream Vacation with a brief description of the trip. If it's selected as a win- ner, it will be published in the Sunday Chronicle. At the end of the year, a panel of judges will select the best photo during the year and that photograph will win a prize. Please avoid photos with dates on the print. Photos should be sent to the Chronicle at 1624 N. Meadowcrest Blvd., Crystal River, FL 34429 or dropped off at the Chronicle office in Inver- ness, Crystal River or any Accent Travel Office.

My mother died a few years ago. My father is 67, in good health and very active. We all live near one another. In June, I received a Facebook message from a woman in another state say- ing she is the mother of Dad's 42-year-old son. It in- cluded contact information for "Chris" and a few photos of him with my Dad when Chris was about 10. Chris is now a successful businessman with a wife and two kids. Chris agreed that it would be nice to know his siblings. However, out of respect for us, he ANN will do nothing unless we make MAIL the first move. As you can imagine, I hit the roof. I am furious that my parents hid this from us all these years. My brother and I visited Dad, who was quite upset that this woman had made contact. He said she was merely a girl he dated after college and the child was "an accident." He supported Chris financially, but there was minimal con- tact because Chris' mom moved around a lot It bothered my mother that Dad would visit Chris, so he hasn't seen him since that photo was taken. Dad asked the woman never to contact my brother or me.

AUTUMN Continued from Page All "The limited summer rains came just in time," said Victor Shelburne, pro- fessor emeritus of forestry and natural resources at Clemson University. "While we're still in a drought, we received enough rain to keep most of the leaves on the trees." Colors are expected to be most brilliant around mid- October in the higher ele- vations, late October in the lower elevations and early November in the Pied- mont. TENNESSEE: COLOR TEASING Smokies spokeswoman Molly Schroar noted yellow birch, American beech, mountain maple and hob- blebush have begun turn- ing high in the mountains, giving a hint of the rich show to come. But Shroar suggested looking down now and then, to see black- eyed Susans, purple asters, goldenrod and other fall flowers just hitting their peak. "We're getting teased a little bit by Mother Nature now," said Cindy Dupree of the Tennessee Department of Tourism as she looked out her car window at hints of red sumac and golds in the maples. "It won't be long until it's spectacular" "On down in the Chat- tanooga area, that gets just as pretty as I've seen any- where," Dupree said.

Citrus County winters usually have extreme tem- perature changes occur- ring over short periods of time. If Mother Nature gives plants time to accli- mate to lower tempera- tures, they can establish dormancy Dormancy helps plants survive, but rapidly falling temperatures do not allow this.

The schedule is: Tuesday, Oct. 9 - 1 p.m. at Lakes Region Library, Inverness. Wednesday, Oct. 10 - 1:30 p.m. at Central Ridge Library, Beverly Hills. Friday, Oct. 12 - 1:30 p.m. at Coastal Region Library, Crystal River.

Tribe tab Francona as new manager CLEVELAND -A per- son familiar with the deci- sion said the Cleveland Indians have chosen Terry Francona to be their next manager and are working with him on a contract. Francona, who led Boston to two World Se- ries titles, was offered the job on Saturday, a person with knowledge of the team's search told the As- sociated Press. The per- son spoke on condition of anonymity because the sides have not yet reached agreement on a deal. Francona interviewed on Friday, one day after the club met with interim man- ager Sandy Alomar Jr. Francona previously worked as an adviser in Cleveland's front office. Reds lose pitcher Cueto to injury SAN FRANCISCO - Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto left his Game 1 start against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night in the first inning because of back spasms. The Red said he is day to day. The right-hander threw a second strike to No. 2 hitter Marco Scutaro and walked off the mound in obvious pain. A trainer and manager Dusty Baker rushed out to check on him, and the 19-game winner came out moments later.

Lecanto's Chloe Benoist was 13th (20:49). It was a pain and gain situation for Consol. "There was a lot of pavement," she said. "It hurt my calves." Consol won the Beat the Sheriff race a week earlier. A soccer standout, she is in her first year of cross country "Clarissa is doing great," said Crystal River girls coach Lisa Carter.

No. 10 Florida shuts doum No. 4 LSU in 14-6 triumph Associated Press GAINESVILLE This was old-school football at its best, the kind of performance only South- eastern Conference loyalists could love. And Florida yes Florida was the team putting on a show. Mike Gillislee ran for a career-high 146 yards and two touchdowns, bringing the 10th-ranked Gators to life in the second half as they upended No. 4 LSU 14-6 on Saturday Led by Gillislee and a domi- nant defense, Florida's grind-it- out victory avenged a 41-11 loss in Baton Rouge last season, handed the Tigers their first regular-sea- son loss in 19 games and gave coach Will Muschamp a signature win in his second season. Muschamp's trans- formation of the Gators from spread-of- fense speed-merchants to hard-running street fighters seems to be complete. It was the program's first victory against a ranked team since beating rival Georgia in 2010. "We wanted to hurt them," Florida defensive end Do- minique Easley said. "We wanted them to feel the pain that we felt last year. We had hurt in our heart, so we wanted them to feel that same thing." Linebacker Jon Bostic and safety Matt Elam provided big plays on defense. Gillislee once again carried the load on of- fense, carrying 34 times.

St. shocks FSU No. 3 'Noles blow 16-point lead in 17-16 loss to Wolfpack Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. Mike Glennon found Bryan Under- wood for a 2-yard touchdown pass on fourth down with 16 seconds left, helping North Carolina State rally to beat third-ranked Florida State 17- 16 on Saturday night. The Seminoles (5-1, 2-1 At- lantic Coast Conference) ap- peared poised to strengthen their grip on their division, leading 16-0 at halftime be- hind a dominating defensive performance. But the Wolf- pack (4-2, 1-1) inched closer after halftime before coming up with a game-turning blocked punt with 2:27 left, giving the ball back to Glen- non at the FSU 43 with a chance to complete a stun- ning comeback. Glennon marched the Wolf- pack down the field and com- pleted a pair of fourth-down passes, the second when he found Underwood alone over the middle to tie the game and take the lead on the ensu- ing point-after kick. FSU drove near midfield in the final seconds, but the Wolfpack defense knocked down EJ Manuel's despera- tion heave near the goal line to end it. CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Irish blast 'Canes No. 9 ND nabs 41-3 triumph over Miami Associated Press CHICAGO Cierre Wood and George Atkinson III gave Notre Dame its first 100-yard rushing duo in a decade, and Everett Golson came off the bench to lead the No. 9 Irish to a 41-3 victory over Miami on Saturday night in what was a very tame sequel to the famed "Catholics vs. Con- victs" rivalry Wood rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns, and Atkinson added 123 yards and another score. Golson, who sat the first series as punishment for violating team rules, completed his first six passes and finished 17 of 22 as Notre Dame im- proved to 5-0 for the first time since 2002. The loss snapped a three- game win streak for Miami, which was held to just 285 yards after piling up 1,260 yards and 86 points in its previous two games. The Hurricanes (4-2) were hurt by at least a half-dozen drops by their receivers, in- cluding two certain touch- downs by Phillip Dorsett on Miami's very first drive. Miami's only points came on Jake Wieclaw's 28-yard field goal in the first quarter Back in the 1980s, Notre Dame-Miami was perhaps the nastiest, most hotly con- tested rivalry in college foot- ball. Most entertaining, too. Both teams were ranked in the top 10 when they met in 1987, '88, '89 and '90, and from 1987 through 1989 the winner went on to win the national title. The teams didn't like each other, either, and made no secret of it Po- lice actually had to be called in to break up a pushing and shoving match as the teams were leaving the field after pregame warmups at Notre E-_r--------------,-i ------- *- '. --- ---- --- ---r, ^ i- - -* * = --, ^ -. ---c ---- *-.. r m Associated Press Miami tight end Clive Walford advances the ball and is tackled by Notre Dame cornerback Bennett Jackson (2), Manti Te'o, behind, and Zeke Motta (17) during the first half Saturday at Soldier Field in Chicago. The No. 9 Irish won 41-3 over the Hurricanes. Dame Stadium in 1988. In a video posted on Notre Dame's website, for- mer Irish coach Lou Holtz said he urged his team to avoid any on-field incidents against Miami. "After we win the game, if Miami wants to fight, fine, we'll meet 'em in the alley," Holtz, on the video, recalled saying to his team. "And if they do, you save Jimmy Johnson's (butt) for me." The Irish stormed out of the locker room and beat Miami 31-30. Many still con- sider it the best home win in Notre Dame history, and it propelled the Irish to their eighth and most recent- national title. The teams played the next two years before the ri- valry was discontinued, with Notre Dame officials feeling "it brought out the worst sides of fans." (Con- sidering it was Notre Dame fans who came up with the "Catholics vs. Convicts" moniker, it's hard to argue with them.) It would be 20 years before the teams would meet again, in the 2010 Sun Bowl. But that old chippiness was nowhere to be found at Soldier Field. Most of the Irish and Hurricanes weren't even born in 1988, and it's hard to nurse a grudge when the history is so ancient. Hard when the game is such a mismatch, too. Miami should have been up 7-0 after its first series, but Dorsett dropped two surefire touchdowns, the second going through his hands on the goal line. In- stead of making the Irish play catch-up, the Hurri- canes were forced to punt. Then, after chasing Tommy Rees off the field in three plays, the Hurricanes gave them a second chance when Gabriel Terry was called for roughing the kicker. Golson replaced Rees and, six plays later rushed for what looked like a touchdown. He was ruled down at the 1 upon review, but Theo Riddick scored on the next play and Notre Dame was off and running. After a missed field goal just before halftime left the Irish with a slim 13-3 lead, they broke the game open on the first series of the second half. Taking off from the Miami 39, Wood ripped off a long run up the right sideline that looked like it was good for a touchdown. But reviews showed he stepped out at the 2. No matter. He rumbled right up the middle on the next play to give Notre Dame a 20-3 lead with just under 12 minutes left in the third. The Irish chewed up 86 yards, all on the ground, on their next drive, capping it with a 3-yard run by Wood. That gave Notre Dame a 27- 3 lead, and the game was all but out of reach. Temple rolls past South Florida Associated Press PHILADELPHIA - Marcus Green blocked a late field goal attempt and Montel Harris scored two touchdowns to lead Tem- ple to a 37-28 victory over South Florida in a Big East Conference matchup Saturday. The game marked Tem- ple's re-entry into the Big East after the Owls were kicked out of the confer- ence in 2004. Temple snapped a two- game losing skid with the victory, improving to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the Big East. After South Florida opened the season with a pair of victories, the loss was the Bulls' fourth- straight defeat, dropping them to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the conference. "I thought our kids were scratching, and fighting and clawing and not re- lenting, and had two losses against two good football teams, and our kids never blinked," Temple coach Steve Addazio said. "This is a great win for our pro- gram. It's an emotional win. It's Temple back in the Big East Conference, our first Big East game making a statement that our program is headed in the right direction and Temple 37, USF 28 South Florida 7 0 14 7 28 Temple 6 3 14 14 37 First Quarter Tem-Coyer 24 run (kick failed), 8:38.

Harris, a transfer from Boston College, erupted for a season-best 133 yards on 24 carries and two fourth- quarter touchdowns. Temple's Chris Coyer was a very efficient 16 for 20 for 167 yards, throwing for one touchdown and scoring the first TD of the game on a 24-yard run on the Owls' first possession. "It was a great team ef- fort, and my offensive line opened up some holes, but it was a great team win, and it was in the back of my mind that I wasn't able to show people how good I could play," said Harris, who had been hampered by a hamstring injury that limited him to 15 carries for 35 yards in two games. "I think this says we're not just a team everyone can run over. I would say I think this week I felt my leg getting back to normal." South Florida was in po- sition to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. But on third-and-one at the Temple 23, with around 1:30 left to play, Demetri Murray went wide and was pulled down by Temple linebacker Tyler Matake- vich, a true freshman who had a team-high 15 tackles, for a five-yard loss.

The Bengals (3-1) lead the NFL with 17 sacks, includ- Associated Press Miami running back Daniel Thomas and the Dolphins travel to Cincinnati for a 1 p.m. game today against the Bengals. ing six sacks in each of their last two games. They've faced rookie or second-year quarterbacks in each of their last three games, and won all three. That combination of inex- perience at quarterback and a relentless pass rush has worked in Cincinnati's favor. "In the quarterback's mind, his clock is sped up and he really has to get rid of the ball, he can't hold onto it," safety Chris Crocker said. "Our defen- sive linemen are very tall guys. Just them getting their arms up, getting around him it's uncom- fortable. As long as they continue to get the pres- sure like they're getting, then we'll make a lot of plays." In Miami, it's all about getting Tannehill ready to face the heat. The eighth overall pick in the draft had a sensa- tional day during a 24-21 overtime loss at Arizona, completing 26 of 41 for 431 yards the most yards ever by a rookie quarter- back on the road and the second-most overall. He had two bad moments that turned the game, both when the Cardinals got pressure on him. Jags prepare for physical Bears Associated Press JACKSONVILLE When asked what Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers brings to the table, Jacksonville Jaguars guard Uche Nwaneri responded with arguably the perfect one-liner "A lot of problems," he said. Here's the bigger predicament for the Jaguars (1-3): Peppers isn't the only one wreaking havoc on Chicago's defense. The Bears (3-1) have smothered their last two op- ponents, stuffing the run and forcing turnovers in the passing game. Now they face the league's worst offense in Jacksonville and it looks like a Sunday mismatch. The Jaguars have man- aged a combined 329 yards in two home games, a 117- yard effort against Houston in Week 2 and an even more baffling, 212-yard out- put against injury-riddled Cincinnati last week. "I can't explain it," coach Mike Mularkey said. "I've told them that, at some point, it's going to go our way I feel like when it does, it's going to happen in bunches, and I think they believe the same thing." The one thing the Jaguars seemingly have in their favor is they're getting the Bears on a short week.

B2 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 FOOTBALL AR CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Backyard beating No. 6 USC routs No. 5 Georgia 35-7 Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. Con- nor Shaw threw two touch- down passes and ran for another, Ace Sanders had a dazzling 70-yard punt return touchdown and No. 6 South Carolina's defense domi- nated fifth-ranked Georgia in a 35-7 victory Saturday The Gamecocks (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) won their school-record 10th straight game with a per- formance that marked cer- tainly marked them an Eastern Division front-run- ner and maybe showed they're capable of even more. Those tests come soon as South Carolina travels to once-beaten LSU next week and then to Florida on Oct. 20. It'd be hard to pick against the Gamecocks after this one. South Carolina grounded "Gurshall," holding Geor- gia's stellar freshmen Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall to 76 yards combined. The Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1) finished with 224 yards, less than half their season's average coming in. No. 8 West Va. 48, No. 11 Texas 45 AUSTIN, Texas Geno Smith passed for four touch- downs, leading No. 8 West Vir- ginia to another wild shootout win in the Big 12, this time tak- ing out No. 11 Texas 48-45. Smith, who has 24 touch- down passes this season with- out an interception, hit Tavon Austin with a 6-yard score with 10:50 left to play. Andrew Buie ran for 207 yards and two touchdowns, the second com- ing giving the Mountaineers a critical 10-point lead late. West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) didn't seal the win until recovering an onside kick with 14 seconds left after Texas scored a touchdown on a pass from David Ash to Marquise Goodwin. Joe Bergeron scored four touchdowns, all on short runs, for Texas (4-1, 1-1). No. 7 Kansas St.56, Kansas 16 MANHATTAN, Kan. John Hubert ran for 101 yards and four touchdowns on just 10 carries, and Collin Klein had two touch- downs running and throwing as Kansas State routed Kansas. Klein finished with 129 yards passing and 116 yards rushing to help the Wildcats (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) pile up more than 50 points for the third straight year against their biggest rival. They've won four straight against the Jay- hawks (1-4, 0-2) since Bill Sny- der returned as coach. The longtime Kansas State coach probably had some choice words for his team at halftime, when a slew of mistakes resulted in a modest 21-14 lead. But the Wildcats scored four touchdowns in the third quarter, three in a span of about 5 minutes, to put the game away.

The Tigers (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) gained 601 yards, while the Yellow Jackets (2-4, 1-3) gained 483. Boyd threw for two touch- downs, including a 35-yard touchdown to Hopkins that put Clemson up 38-31 with 10:29 left in the game. Georgia Tech bobbled the kickoff and started its next pos- session at the 2 yard line. Tigers linebacker Spencer Shuey sniffed out an option pitch two plays later for a safety. No.14 Oregon St. 19, Washington State 6 CORVALLIS, Ore. Jordan Poyer had three interceptions, Sean Mannion passed for 270 yards and No. 14 Oregon State survived a shaky start with a 19- 6 win over Washington State. Markus Wheaton had 95 yards receiving and a touch- down but it was the Beavers defense which kept the Cougars at arm's length on the day when Mannion, who threw three interceptions, was more down than up. Oregon State (4-0, 3-0 Pac- 12) has surpassed its win total from all of 2011, but many in the school-record crowd of 46,579 were left shaking their heads at penalties and turnovers as the offense sputtered. Mannion completed 25 of 42 passes and was sacked three times. Iowa St. 37, No. 15 TCU 23 FORT WORTH, Texas - Jared Barnett threw three touchdowns to Josh Lenz, who later had a scoring toss of his own on a trick play, as Iowa State ended TCU's FBS-best 12-game win streak. It was the first Big 12 home game for conference newcomer TCU (4-1, 1-1), which played without suspended quarterback Casey Pachall. Barnett was 12-of-21 passing for 183 yards and ran nine times for 30 yards in his first start this season for the Cy- clones (4-1, 1-1). No. 17 Oklahoma 41, Texas Tech 20 LUBBOCK, Texas Landry Jones passed for two touch- downs, Blake Bell ran for two more and Oklahoma beat Texas Tech to avenge a home loss to the Red Raiders in 2011. The win was crucial for Okla- homa to remain in the conver- sation for the Big 12 title. Both of Jones' touchdown passes went for 13 yards - one each to Justin Brown and Kenny Stills. Bell, in at quarter- back, scored his touchdowns from a yard out. Javon Harris put the game out of reach midway through the third quarter when he re- turned an interception 46 yards for a TD to put the Sooners (3- 1, 1-1) up 38-13. No. 18 Stanford 54, Arizona 48, OT STANFORD, Calif. Chase Thomas intercepted a tipped pass by Matt Scott in overtime, Stepfan Taylor ran for a 21-yard score two plays later and Stan- ford rallied from a two-touch- down deficit to stun Arizona. Josh Nunes threw for a ca- reer-high 360 yards and two touchdowns and ran for three more scores for Stanford (4-1, 2-1 Pac-12) to offset Scott's record-setting performance. Scott completed 45 of 69 passes both school records - for 491 yards and three touchdowns until Henry Ander- son tipped his final pass in over- time that Thomas intercepted. Arizona (3-3, 0-3) amassed 617 total yards. No. 20 Miss.

Penn State 39, No. 24 N'western 28 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Quarterback Matt McGloin scored on a 5-yard run with 2:37 left and Penn State rallied from 11 points down in fourth quarter to beat Northwestern. The Nittany Lions scored three times in the final 9:49, starting with McGloin's 6-yard touchdown pass to Allen Robin- son as the receiver dragged along the back line of the end zone. Michael Zordich had a 2- point conversion run to get Penn State within 28-25 before McGloin's scramble into the end zone sent the homecoming weekend crowd into a frenzy. Penn State (4-2, 2-0 Big Ten) stuffed a last-gasp drive after Trevor Siemian's pass was tipped away on fourth down. McGloin finished 35 of 51 passing setting a school record for completions in a game for 282 yards and two scores. Zack Zwinak ran for 121 yards and a score on 28 carries.

HOME Continued from Page BI that all season. Florida, which trailed 6-0 at halftime, also came from behind to beat Texas A&M and Ten- nessee on the road last month. This one was even more impressive. "They beat us down last year," Elam said. "We had to come back. We had some- thing to prove. We had a plan to hit them in their mouth, and we executed." The Gators harassed quar- terback Zach Mettenberger, pretty much shut down run- ning backs Spencer Ware, Kenny Hilliard and Michael Ford, and completely wore down LSU's vaunted defense. Mettenberger completed 11 of 25 passes for 161 yards, with an interception. LSU finished with 42 yards rush- ing, three more than whatAl- abama held the Tigers to in last season's Bowl Champi- onship Series title game. The Tigers were 1 of 13 on third down and finished with just eight first downs three on penalties. "I think our football team is sick, sick with knowledge that they could have played better," LSU coach Les Miles said. Florida credited new GATOR Continued from Page BI The Lecanto High girls finished seventh (156 points) out of 23 teams. Despite missing two key runners, Crystal River finished ninth at 209 points. The Citrus girls were 14th (409). "We ran well as a team," said Lecanto High head girls coach Dan Epstein. "The humidity was really tough on the girls. Some of our girls were upset. I told them listen, you beat some of the top girls. This is going to be a good indication of where we stand in districts." Belleview's Catherine Blaney won the girls race (19:47). Crystal River High's Brandon Harris was the top Citrus County boy finisher. He was 28th after running a 20:11. Lecanto's Sam Alford was 38th (18:29). The Lecanto boys were eighth (281 points). Crystal River was just behind at ninth (292). Citrus was 14th (384). "Roselle Lattin has done a great job with the team," said Lecanto boys assistant coach Robert Dupler. "They are working hard. They ran a very strong race." Citrus is having problems with the air strength coach Jeff Dillman and the team's continually improving offensive line - the same one Muschamp called soft late last season - for the victory Gillislee got props, too. "I'll take Gilly over any- body," Muschamp said. "I tell him that all the time and I mean that I felt that way in spring and going into fall camp. ... He's a Will Muschamp guy He don't ever say anything, he just does his job, lines up, runs the ball. If you ask him to block, he's going to block. If you ask him to catch the ball, he's going to catch the ball. He just is a re- ally, really, really good foot- ball player." It was Gillislee's third 100- yard game of the season, and it came against one of the league's most feared fronts. Highly touted defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery were neutral- ized much of the day Line- backer Kevin Minter had a career day, finishing with 20 tackles despite missing a few plays while dealing with leg cramps. Minter had two of LSU's five sacks in the first half, helping the Tigers hold Florida to 47 yards at the break. But the Gators looked completely different after in- termission. They went to a heavy package featuring two extra offensive linemen to "The humidity is not our friend right now," said Cit- rus High boys coach James Martone. "We are working towards district. Cameron Grant ran an 18:54 (48th place). He would like to be in the 17s and is working in that direction." Sarasota's Courtland Bernard won the boys race with a clocking of 16:29. 2012 Gator Invitational cross country race Girls team scores 1. Palm Harbor University 104; 2. Sarasota 120; 3.

Emily Zwijacz, run the ball they call it "God's play" and it worked to perfection. Florida scored on consec- utive drives by running on 17 of 18 plays. Gillislee ended both of them with 12-yard touchdown runs, one in the third quarter and another early in the fourth. "They were definitely more physical than last year," Mingo said. The Gators ran the ball on their final 25 snaps, gashing the Tigers between the tack- les. "Them boys was huffing and puffing," Easley said. "I was looking in people's eyes and they were scared. That's what we wanted. We wanted to take somebody's will. We like to take people's will, not just win the game. Make them remember this night" Maybe the play of the game came between those game-changing, run-oriented drives. Elam stripped Odell Beckham Jr following a 56- yard reception on third down. Initially, the officials ruled Beckham was down when the ball came out. Replays, though, clearly showed the ball coming out before his knee hit the ground. The play was reversed, and Florida seized the momentum. "It was a hustle play," Elam said. "It was all in- stinct. It was great effort that paid off." Newsome 20:25; 7. Marina Levine, Largo 20:27; 8.

SCOREBOARD CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Pitching pays off Associated Press Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander throws Saturday during the first inning of Game I of the American League Division Series against the Oakland Athletics in Detroit. Verlander aces A's in Detroit's 3-1 victory in Game 1 ofALDS Associated Press DETROIT Justin Verlander al- lowed a home run to the first batter of the game and quickly shrugged it off. This hard-throwing ace doesn't usu- ally hit his stride until a bit later Verlander shut down Oakland after that early slip, and Alex Avila home- red in the fifth inning to lift the De- troit Tigers over the Athletics 3-1 Saturday night in the opener of their best-of-five AL playoff. Verlander allowed three hits in seven innings and matched his career post- season high with 11 strikeouts. As usual, he seemed stronger in the later innings, striking out the side in the sixth and the first two hitters of the seventh. That made up for Coco Crisp's home run that quieted the Comerica Park crowd just one batter into the game. "I was a little out of synch but was able to get some outs with guys on base and keep the score at one run," Verlander said. "The adrenaline got me a little bit early" Joaquin Benoit pitched the eighth and Jose Valverde struck out two in a perfect ninth for the save. Oakland's Jarrod Parker allowed two earned runs in 6 1/3 innings and took the loss. Game 2 is Sunday, with Doug Fister taking the mound for Detroit and left- hander Tommy Milone for Oakland. It was only the second victory for Detroit in its last seven series open- ers. The Tigers lost Game 1 to the Yankees in the division series last year before winning in five.

After winning their final six games to take the AL West in shocking fash- ion, the As made their presence felt right away in Detroit. The home crowd greeted Verlander with a roar and a sea of twirling white towels when he popped out of the dugout and headed to the mound to start the game, but Crisp was unfazed. He pulled Verlander's two-strike fastball just inside the pole in right field to put Oakland on top. The AL Central-champion Tigers tied it immediately Austin Jackson's hard- hit ball deflected off diving shortstop Stephen Drew and into short left field. The Detroit leadoff man ended up with a double and went to third when Quintin Berry slapped a single to third offDonaldson, who also could only get a piece of the ball while diving for it Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabr- era, who went hitless, grounded into a double play, but Jackson came home to make it 1-all. Drew finally made a diving play in the second, sprawling to his right on Delmon Young's grounder and then throwing to first for the out. At the plate, the As made Verlander work, forcing him to throw 61 pitches in the first three innings. The Detroit ace struck out Brandon Moss to end the Oakland third with a 99 mph fastball - but Verlander was having to reach back for extra speed early Parker looked sharp early but al- lowed another run in the third be- cause of a fielding mishap. With two out and a man on second, Berry chopped a soft grounder to the right side. Parker came off the mound to field it, but with the speedy Berry hus- tling to first, Parker lost control of the ball with his glove hand for an error that allowed Omar Infante to score. It looked like Parker may have been trying to flip the ball with his glove to his first baseman, who wasn't on the bag.

Latifah, Woodard Rashad and Scott star in 'Steel Magnolias' SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES The onscreen love between Queen Latifah, Alfre Woodard, Jill Scott and Phylicia Rashad in the updated version of "Steel Magnolias" is real. The actresses, who take on the roles originated by Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton and Olympia Dukakis in the 1989 film, bonded in real life just like their characters do in Truvy's salon. "It's been a love fest," said Scott, who plays Truvy, adding she would have taken any role to be a part of the star-studded, small-screen retelling of Robert Harling's stage play and original film, set to pre- miere Oct. 7 on Lifetime. The new "Steel Magnolias," pro- duced by Academy Awards produc- ers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, maintains the flavor of Harling's story, only this time with an all- black cast Zadan said he learned over a lunch discussion with Harling about the story that his "dream would be to do it again but do it with an African-American cast," the pro- ducer recalled. "It could be like a completely new film that you've never seen before. We thought, wow, that's a great idea, so we called our friends and made the movie." (Latifah, also an executive pro- ducer of "Steel Magnolias," previ- ously worked with Zadan and Meron on "Chicago" and "Hairspray") Harling's words are essentially unchanged in the updated version, producers said, save for references to Facebook and Michelle Obama and some medical details that re- flect advances in science. Latifah and Condola Rashad play mother and daughter in the TV version of Robert Harling's stage play and original film, "Steel Magnolias." : Adepero Oduye plays Annelle and Phylicia Rashad plays Clariee in the TV movie. "That's why we think the material is classic material," Meron said, "because it can live no matter where you put it." As in the original film, the story is set in the south and opens as M'Lynn (Latifah) and her husband are preparing for daughter Shelby's wedding. The communal center in their town is Truvy's hair salon, where M'Lynn and her friends, Ouiser (Woodard) and Clairee (Rashad), gather to catch up on their beauty regimens and gossip. "We connected immediately, so we didn't really have to fake being girls in the beauty shop," Latifah said. "We just bonded right away" It's that sisterhood among women - and the enduring safety of the salon space that makes "Steel Magnolias" such a timeless story. Women have long turned to one an- other in times of joy and sorrow, said Woodard, and the salon is prac- tically sacred ground.

Birthday Your leadership qualities are likely to be sub- stantially enhanced in the year ahead. In arrangements where you have previously been content to be a follower, you will now want to take on a more commanding role. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) In a competitive situation, you'll fare much better if you are realistic in the assessment of your competitors. Don't underestimate anyone. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You'll be quite efficient when doing things you like, but not so much with projects or jobs you find distasteful. Regardless of what you do, do it with pride. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Bad feelings could result if you have false expectations of a colleague. Don't auto- matically assume that he or she enjoys engaging in some- thing as much as you do. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Small domestic issues FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer NEW YORK The man widely known as "Big" gets even bigger: He's playing J.P Morgan, one of history's tow- ering business magnates. It was one of Morgan's businesses that funded the Titanic, and Chris Noth ap- pears in a supporting role in "Titanic: Blood and Steel," an epic 12-part miniseries about the build- ing of the great ship. It pre- mieres on six consecutive nights, with two episodes airing back to back, on the Encore cable network be- ginning Monday at 8 p.m. Noth said the idea of play- ing Morgan intrigued him. "He's sort of maligned today," Noth said. "But two times in our history he saved our banking system from falling apart and saved the country from bank- ruptcy and depression. He was a patriotic man. But he liked to make money, too. "It was fun to come into this film and remind people whose wallet it was that was building the Titanic," Noth said. "Morgan wanted the ship done right and he wanted it safe. But the bu- reaucracy below him equiv- Today's HOROSCOPE could easily be blown out of proportion. Keep this in mind before you find fault with your mate for a lack of enthusiasm regarding a certain matter. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -You're likely to come out better in handling your material affairs if you follow your own counsel instead of listening to the advice of outsiders. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) You'll have to be a bit thick- skinned if you intend to take over a faltering recreational sit- uation and reorganize it. Even though you'll do what's right, you may be criticized. Aries (March 21-April 19) The consequences of your acts could adversely affect others if you're not careful, even if your intentions are good. Consider what you're about to do before you take action. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Even if it normally takes a lot for you to show any anger, be extra sure you have control ocated a lot." Everyone knows the re- sulting tragedy But that fa- miliar outcome looms just beyond the final fade-out of "Titanic: Blood and Steel," itself the largely untold story of how the ship came to be. Also appearing is Derek Jacobi ("The King's Speech, "The Borgias") as Lord William Pirrie, chairman of the Harland and Wolff ship- yard in Belfast, Ireland, where the ship was built. Kevin Zegers ("Gossip Girl") stars as a young scien- tist who raises questions about the safety of the ship. over your temper at all times. Once your ire's released, it'll be quite difficult to rein in. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Watch out for the little things that bug you to the point of distraction. Conversely, if you have to deal with something serious, you'll handle it well. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Don't do anything that you know from experience is apt to cause you or someone else a problem. If you choose to ignore your good judgment, you'll hate yourself down the line. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) There is a good chance that you'll be inclined to strive for something that you know is beyond your capabilities. Set realistic goals; it's foolish to spin your wheels on the unattainable. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If a forceful and domineering friend tries to involve you in something that you really don't want to participate in, resist coercion. Stand up for your rights.

Today's Highlight: On Oct. 7, 1929, former In- terior Secretary Albert B. Fall, one of the main figures of the Teapot Dome scandal, went on trial in Washington, D.C., charged with accepting a bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000; he ended up serv- ing nine months. Ironically, Doheny was acquitted at trial of offering the bribe that Fall was convicted of taking.) On this date: In 1777, the second Battle of Saratoga began during the American Revolution. (British forces under Gen. John Bur- goyne surrendered 10 days later.) In 1849, author Edgar Allan Poe died in Baltimore at age 40. In 1982, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical "Cats" opened on Broadway. (The show closed Sept. 10, 2000, after a record 7,485 performances.) In 1991, University of Okla- homa law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually in- appropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill's allegations. In 2001, the current war in Afghanistan started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden's training camps in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Ten years ago: The Washington-area sniper struck again, shooting and critically wounding a 13-year- old boy as his aunt dropped him off at school in Bowie, Md. Five years ago: In a race run in scorching heat that left one man dead, Kenya's Patrick Ivuti won the Chicago Marathon by a fraction of a second; another 250 runners were taken to hospitals be- cause of heat-related ailments. One year ago: The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to three women: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkul Kar- man, who began pushing for change in Yemen long before the Arab Spring. Today's Birthdays: Re- tired South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu is 81. Come- dian Joy Behar (TV: "The View") is 70. Former National Security Council aide Lt. Col. Oliver North (ret.) is 69.

COMMENTARY CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE - Gerry Mulligan OUT THE WINDOW Associated Press Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama shake hands Wednesday after the first presidential debate at the University of Denver, in Denver, Colo. Dissecting the debate BEN FELLER AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON Republican Mitt Rom- ney was fiery and having fun. President Barack Obama came off as the professor without much pop. And while Democrats grudgingly conceded that Romney did well in Wednesday's debate, what matters is whether he changed the dy- namic of a race that he appeared to be losing. The best answers will come: Did the de- bate help Romney close his polling deficit in a must-win state such as Ohio? Or take a polling lead in Florida, Virginia or the other toss-up states? Or deliver the kind of per- formance that translates into noticeable en- ergy on the trail, a crisper message, more likelihood that the undecided voters out there will go with him? In terms of instant conclusions, the judging is best done in view of what Obama and Rom- ney set out to do. By that measure, Romney may not have changed the game, but he sure played it well. Obama avoided any gaffes but looked sur- prisingly lackluster at times. And he kept in his pocket one of the strongest weapons of his political arsenal, Romney's videotaped view that half the na- tion sees itself as a bunch of entitled victims. The president never mentioned it over 90 minutes even though he talks about it daily in his campaigning. In the midst of a dense debate that lacked much discipline, something important ap- peared answers on how the two men would run the country differently But good luck to the undecided voter who had to sort that out The debate often got bogged down with complicated and contradictory versions of the candidates' plans and of the truth, with a distracting dose of insider Washington refer- ences. Even voters clamoring for specific dif- ferences may have found themselves wondering why all the talk about "Bowles- Simpson" (a debt commission) and "Dodd- Frank" (a Wall Street reform law). The night's mystery was why Obama did not bring up Romney's embarrassing caught- UPCOMING DEBATES 9 to 10:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11: Vice presidential candidates' debate between Vice President Joe Biden, Wis.

The video has undermined Romney's bid for the presidency and gone to the heart of Obama's case of how differently the two men see the role of government and the people it serves. It got at best an indirect nod during talk about Medicare and Social Security, both known as entitlements. "You know, the name itself implies some sense of dependency on the part of these folks," Obama said. "These are folks who've worked hard, like my grandmother, and there are millions of people out there who are counting on this." Obama's campaign disputed the notion that the president missed an opportunity They argue Romney's own words, which the Obama campaign is using in television ads, are more effective. The president's biggest trouble seemed to be that he got caught up in exactly what he wanted to avoid engaging Romney time and again on the challenger's accusations in- stead of turning each answer into a clear, co- herent argument about how he would help people over the next four years. It did not help that moderator Jim Lehrer lost control of the debate to the point that six segments got reduced to five, a sign of how long both men took to answer questions. "Excuse me. Excuse me. Just so everybody understands, we're way over our first 15 min- utes," Lehrer said at one point "It's fun, isn't it?" Romney said. Following tradition, Romney stood to gain simply by standing next to the president and holding up well. He started off with the kind ofhere-is-how- this-affects-you empathy that has been miss- ing from much of his campaign. "Ann yesterday was at a rally in Denver," Romney said of his wife. "'And a woman came up to her with a baby in her arms, and said: 'Ann, my husband has had four jobs in three years, part-time jobs. He's lost his most re- cent job. And we've now just lost our home. Can you help us?' And the answer is, yes, we can help, but it's going to take a different path." What Obama wanted was to leave the American people with little doubt about his plans for the next four years and how they differ from Romney's. It was a rare chance for him in this election year to reach millions of people directly, yet the debate's jerky pace and subject detours made it hard for him to break through. Even so, a status quo result, or something close, would not hurt him nearly as much as it would Romney By the end of a long night, the president tried to bring his agenda items back to the prideful auto workers, to the mom who went back to school. "All those things are designed to make sure that the American people, their genius, their grit, their determination, is channeled, and they have an opportunity to succeed," Obama said. Romney's calculus was different. He needed a commanding performance. See Page C3 Comings and goings at the Chronicle here have been some changes at the Chronicle recently that deserve some recognition. Mike Arnold has been named the editor of the newspaper and is now in charge of the overall con- tent. Mike is a real success story at the Chronicle, proving you can start at the bottom and work your way up. More than a decade ago, Mike started working at the Chronicle as a sports correspondent covering various high school foot- ball games. Over the years, he next became a sports reporter and then the sports editor. After serving as sports ed- itor, he moved on and be- came managing editor of the newspaper. For many of those years, he served as a member of the Chron- icle's editorial board and wrote regular opinion pieces for the newspaper. Mike continued his ed- ucation while at the Chronicle and went on to earn his master's degree. After more than a decade in the newsroom, he moved over to become the human resource director for the newspaper com- pany and took care of all those issues from training to hiring to making sure that people got paid. We have 10 newspapers in Florida, and he had the opportunity to work with the staffs of each of the publications. A month ago, he re- turned to the news de- partment and took over as editor of the paper. Mike is a Citrus Springs resident, where he lives with his wife, Brenda. Charlie Brennan con- tinues to work at the newspaper in the role of editor at large, where he will continue to coordi- nate our editorial opin- ions and help with the writing and reporting that happens on a daily basis.

Townsend Martin said, : "we are the rich; we own Amer- .- ica; we got it God knows how, . but we intend to keep it." , This sentiment was recently . echoed in the Republican Na- , tional Convention when some delegates declared "we own this place."

The amendment ended elec- tion of higher court judges and calls for justices to be ap- pointed on merit and then stand for a retention vote every six years. However, this year the Florida Republican Party and the conservative political ac- tion group Americans for Pros- perity, funded by the billionaire Koch Brothers, have interjected politics into what should be a nonpartisan retention election of three Supreme Court justices by joining with a group called "Restore Justice 2012" led by an Orlando youth minister The targeted justices, Bar- bara Pariente, Peggy Quince and Fred Lewis, were ap- pointed by former governor Lawton Chiles and have been previously retained in statewide elections. Under Florida law, judges must face a vote on whether to retain them or remove them every six years, and they are up for a re- tention vote this year According to Restore Justice 2012, these judges have been targeted because they are "ju- dicial activists." But the examples cited by the organization appear more like decisions that were un- popular with some partisan groups than with judicial ac- tivism. According to a state Bar association survey of 7,857 lawyers in the state, the three had an average approval rating of 90 percent. The campaign to oust the three justices has drawn the criticism of a variety of highly- respected Florida court au- What a shame This is about the picture of the gator in the newspaper today, Thursday (Sept. 20).

As a state legislator, he was on the committee that worked for pas- sage of the 1976 constitutional amendment aimed at keeping politics out of the state's court system. While not taking an advocacy position on whether individual judges should be retained, the Florida Bar is running a $300,000 campaign to educate voters about the judicial reten- tion process, and has enlisted former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to introduce a video on retention. In that introduction, O'Con- nor says that for more than three decades, the merit reten- tion system has helped buffer the state's appellate courts from improper influence; and for the system to work, voters need to educate themselves and make informed decisions. This is sound advice for vot- ers. In a highly politicized en- vironment, the last thing the state needs is for its highest court to become just another political institution. We are disappointed that some in the state are trying to make the ju- dicial retention process a po- litical football. We believe this is a threat to the independence and impartiality we expect from our state's highest court. We urge voters to ignore po- litical appeals, educate them- selves, and make informed decisions intended to encour- age our state's highest jurists to make their decisions free from fear or favor, and based solely on the merit of arguments for or against cases they are presented. Differing Republicans This is in response to a Sound Off titled "Contract with Amer- ica," in Thursday, Sept. 20's Chronicle. Yes, it is appropriate to note that Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress actually wanted to work with our president at that time. It should also be noted that over two years ago, Re- publican leadership in the House and even in the Senate were say- ing that their No. 1 job was to make this a one-term president. I'm referring to President Obama. Now, isn't their No. 1 job to do Romney's trifecta he presidential campaign, hitherto a plod through a torrent of words tedious beyond words, began to dance in Denver There a mas- terfully prepared Mitt Romney completed a trifecta of tasks and unveiled an issue that, because it illus- trates contemporary liberalism's repellant essence, can constitute his campaign's closing argument Barack Obama, knight of the peevish countenance, il- lustrated William E Buckley's axiom that liberals who cele- f brate tolerance of other views always seem amazed that , there are other views. Obama, who is not known as / a martyr to the work ethic and who might use a teleprompter when ordering lunch, seemed uncomfort- George Will able with a format that al- OTHER lowed fluidity of discourse. His vanity- remember, he VOICES gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod whose menu included two of his speeches - perhaps blinds him to the need to prepare. And to the fact that it is not lese-majest6 to require him to defend his campaign ads' dubious assertions with explanations longer than the ads. And to the ample evidence, such as his futile advocacy for Demo- cratic candidates and Obamacare, that his sup- posed rhetorical gifts are figments of acolytes' imaginations. Luck is not always the residue of design, and Rom- ney was lucky that the first debate concerned the economy, a subject that to him is a hanging curve ball and to Obama is a dancing knuckleball. The topic helped Romney accomplish three things. First, recent polls showing him losing were on the verge of becoming self-fulfilling prophesies by dis- couraging his supporters and inspiriting Obama's. Romney, unleashing his inner wonk about eco- nomic matters, probably stabilized public opinion and prevented a rush to judgment as early voting accelerates. Second, Romney needed to be seen tutoring Obama on such elementary distinctions as that be- tween reducing tax rates (while simultaneously re- ducing, by means testing, the value of deductions) and reducing revenues, revenues being a function of economic growth, which the rate reductions could stimulate. Third, Romney needed to rivet the attention of the electorate, in which self-identified conservatives out- number self-identified liberals two-to-one, on this choice: America can be the society it was when it had a spring in its step, a society in which markets the voluntary collaboration of creative individuals -al- locate opportunity Or America can remain today's depressed and anxious society of unprecedented stagnation in the fourth year of a faux recovery- a bleak society in which government incompetently al- locates resources in pursuit of its perishable certi- tudes and on behalf of the politically connected. Late in the debate, when Romney for a third time referred to Obamacare's creation of "an unelected board, appointed board, who are going to decide what kind of (medical) treatment you ought to have," Obama said, "No, it isn't" Oh? The Independent Payment Advisory Board per- fectly illustrates liberalism's itch to remove choices from individuals, and from their elected representa- tives, and to repose the power to choose in supposed experts liberated from democratic accountability. Beginning in 2014, IPAB would consist of 15 un- elected technocrats whose recommendations for re- ducing Medicare costs must be enacted by Congress by Aug. 15 of each year. If Congress does not enact them, or other measures achieving the same level of cost containment, IPAB's proposals automatically are transformed from recommendations into law. Without being approved by Congress. Without being signed by the president These facts refute Obama's Denver assurance that IPAB "can't make decisions about what treatments are given." It can and will by controlling payments to doctors and hospitals. Hence the emptiness of Oba- macare's language that IPAB's proposals "shall not include any recommendation to ration health care." By Obamacare's terms, Congress can repeal IPAB only during a seven-month window in 2017, and then only by three-fifths majorities in both chambers. After that, the law precludes Congress from ever al- tering IPAB proposals. Because IPAB effectively makes law, thereby tra- ducing the separation of powers, and entrenches IPAB in a manner that derogates the powers of fu- ture Congresses, it has been well described by a Cato Institute study as "the most anti-constitutional meas- ure ever to pass Congress." But unless and until the Supreme Court an unreliable guardian over- turns it, IPAB is a harbinger of the "shock and awe statism" (Indiana Gov Mitch Daniels' phrase) that is liberalism's prescription for curing the problems supposedly caused by insufficient statism. Before Denver, Obama's campaign was a pro- tracted exercise in excuse abuse, and the promise that he will stay on the statist course he doggedly de- fends despite evidence of its futility. After Denver, Romney's campaign should advertise that promise.

As a result, Rom- ney won their first presidential debate on style, and the plaudits came quickly from most com- mentators. Then the fact checkers began to weigh in: Romney had indeed proposed a budget-bust- ing $5 trillion tax cut, his debate protestations to the contrary notwithstanding. The undisclosed tax loopholes Romney would close undoubtedly would include elimination of the mortgage inter- est deduction. ObamaCare actually did derive from Romney's Massachusetts plan. In the end, Romney won the night; Obama will win the morning. For all the president's preparation, it was stun- ning that he simply failed to say: "My statements are accurate, and the fact check- ers will confirm this." "The have and have-not gap is widening at a pace reminiscent of the 19th century Gilded Age when robber barons had more money than the U.S. Treasury And yet you believe millionaires and billionaires are paying their fair share of taxes." "I cut the Social Security tax by 2 percent It is the largest tax most middle-income citizens pay, and yet you oppose the cut." "You were caught on tape saying 47 percent of Americans pay no income tax and that you have already conceded their votes. Do you believe these people who are retired or in the military or who pay Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes and other taxes are freeloaders?" Clearly, the president may have prepared, but he was unprepared. Presidential debates have been a fixture of American politics for most of the last half century Television was in its infancy when Vice President Nixon and Sen. John E Kennedy faced off in 1960. History has judged that Kennedy, like Romney, won on style, but lost on substance. But times have changed. Now there is the Internet. Yet, long before the Internet was even an idea, H. L. Mencken wrote "No one in this world ... has ever lost money by underestimating the intelli- gence of the great masses of the plain people," which is popularly paraphrased as, "No one ever went broke underestimating the American peo- ple." But that was then. The Internet has changed the world in many ways, not all of them uplifting, but one thing it has brought out in force is people who think for them- selves, and who link up with other like-minded people. It is a global phenomenon as witnessed by the Arab Spring. In the presidential campaign it was witnessed when Romney's 47 percent remark went Internet viral, penetrating the consciousness of just about every citizen of voting age. And by the time the cable news pundits weighed in at the conclusion of the 90-minute Obama-Rom- ney debate, views were already forming and atti- tudes taking shape across the country and indeed the globe. Social media saw people tweeting and sharing their thoughts in real time on a variety of Internet sites. It's been a long year with a number of fringe voices commanding the headlines from Michele Bachmann to Herman Cain (remember 9-9-9) and of course Rep. Todd Akin and his outrageous "rape" remark, but in the end the American electorate is no longer the electorate of Mencken's era. They are beneficiaries of a flood of information in this Inter- net age when millions of voices are now heard in- stead of a few spinmeisters, and the public has learned how to sift through it all, ignoring the ex- tremes and gravitating to the sensible center U Douglas Cohn and Eleanor Clift author the Washington Merry-Go-Round column, founded in 1932 by Drew Pearson.

We enjoyed it old enough to die, but to vote, or to get married, that same young man had to be at least 21 years old. Cheryl's 18th birthday was on July 22. She'd only need one par- ent's consent, but she would still need one. We had the blessings of both of her parents; even so, we liked the idea of her being a woman of 18 instead of a girl of 17 at the time we became husband and wife. We decided to set our date as soon after Aug. 1 as the Rev An- dersen could marry us in the All Faiths Community Church of Ridge Manor, hoping for early to mid-August. Cheryl made an appointment with her pastor. We thought we were meeting with him for the sole purpose of selecting a date that would fit on his calendar. Little did we know. We went through a stirring round of "Are you sure?" Then, after talking with us at length and asking some noticeably personal - and, at times, some rather em- barrassing -questions, he an- nounced his decision. "You're both still very young, but I believe you truly love each other. I believe you love each other in the right way and that you want to be married for the right reasons. I'm convinced you are good candidates for marriage." He thumbed through his calen- dar and advised, "The earliest I can perform the ceremony will be in late September How about Sat- urday evening, Sept. 24, at eight o'clock?" He never said Sept. 24 was the earliest date available on his calendar, he said it was the earliest he could perform the ceremony I read between the lines and realized he wanted us to wait for at least a few more weeks. First, to be sure we remained as sure as we thought we were, but, also, to give Cheryl's parents and, as it would turn out to be, the community as a whole, time to organize what was destined to become a major social event. Regardless of his reasons, Rev Andersen said what he said to us with love; and, we joyfully accepted his blessing and booked the date he'd suggested.

The October Surprise I'M SURPRISED OBAMA D1SO POORLY ! OOP,-7 IrM SURPRISED ROMNuY DIP SO \ WEL4 ! T- - Letter to the EDITOR Tough debate I have to ask if The Associated Press watched the same debate that I did last night. I wish the AP wouldn't do that, but considering they are the epitome of our left-wing highly partisan media, I should have expected their article in the Thurs- day, Oct. 4, Chronicle. The AP says in their headlines; "Tough sparring in first debate" and "Obama, Romney hit hard in initial meet." That doesn't sound like what I was wit- ness to. I saw Mitt hand Obama his head. It was the most one-sided exchange of ideas that I have ever seen. That's not just my opinion, here's what the first three sources I saw on the Internet had to say '"After the debate debacle for Obama, we'll find out if we have a race." "Mitt Romney won the debate. Why does that matter? Debates don't move polls. Debate winners do." "Mitt Romney won the first debate; virtually every snap poll and snap pundit agrees on this point." Even the big three of our liberal media didn't try to hide the facts like the AP did. ABC News says "Obama supporters con- READ Continued from Page Cl like in Iraq and Afghanistan which so far have cost about $4 trillion and countless lives on all sides. How many trillions of dollars and thousands of lives are we willing to pour into a new war? Tax codes: Here is the grand prize for billionaires and the corporate classes, because this is where the real money is and they aim to grab as much of it as pos- sible. The latest push is for taxing "the 47 percent" while providing cuts for the top 1 or 2 percent under the guise of "flattening" and "broadening" the tax codes. This means those who can least afford to pay income taxes will pay more, while those at the top will have their taxes cut, sometimes by millions of dollars. Maybe some of that will trickle down to the rest of us. Then again, maybe not. The environment: They want to kill the Environ- mental Protection Agency, an agency set up by Presi- dent Nixon, a Republican, to clean up burning rivers (true story), acid rain, toxic dump sites, smog, water and a host of other environ- mental catastrophes. Now that we have relatively clean air and water, the bil- lionaires and their corpo- rations want to get back to polluting the country. All they ask is that we not do it in their back yards some things are still sacred. Education: Right- wingers hate public educa- tion. They hate teachers unions and evolution and science and anything that contradicts their funda- mentalist religious beliefs. Many will either home school their kids or send cede debate defeat, Romney heads to Vir- ginia." CBS News says "Romney's big night The first presidential debate was Republican candidate Mitt Romney's best moment of the campaign so far." NBC News says "Romney comes to play, outduels Obama in debate." I say shame on the AP for such a partisan distortion of the facts. Barack Obama is not the most articu- late person without his teleprompter, but he was absolutely awful in the debate, pausing, stuttering, and in some cases not able to speak in complete sentences. I think Mitt cut him too much slack. Last night was about jobs. Let's hear the hard questions about religion, Marxism, the role of government and the rights of man. Let's ask them this time around and not let him skate on "change."

Ironically, religious charter schools want to use tax dollars for funding. Isn't there some- thing in the Constitution forbidding that? Some studies show that charter schools are not much better at teaching kids than our public school system. But remember, charter schools can pick which kids they want to accept while un- derfunded public schools do not have that option and are at a huge disadvantage. Voter suppression: Re- publicans exist to defend wealth and power. They are not very interested in the middle class as anything more than consumers or a source of labor. They know they cannot win if they admit they want to hand the country over to massive pri- vate wealth and will thus try to keep voter turnout low especially among mi- norities, the young, and the elderly because these peo- ple are liable to vote for De- mocrats. Are Republicans afraid of a fair fight? Medicaid: Essentially, they want to turn it over to the states where it can be quietly starved to death. Republicans like Mitt Rom- ney prefer to have unin- sured people continue to use emergency rooms in- stead of doctor visits and receive regular medical care for themselves and their families. But contrary to what Mr Romney thinks, emergency room care is not free of charge just ask any uninsured person who has been to one the bills follow them. Medicare: They want to pay for it by vouchers that will lose value over time. As a result seniors will have to pay thousands in higher premiums and will eventu- ally cut back on medical care because they can no longer afford it. Basically, they want to kill Medicare by draining it of funds or turning it completely over to the private sector. Un-af- fordability is the real death panel. Social Security: They want to privatize it, but this program has proven to be very successful and popu- lar for millions of people since around 1935. Repub- licans hate it and in a mira- cle of modern marketing they have even convinced many in the middle class that this program should go. The very program that has kept so many millions of people out of poverty is disdained by many of the people who will depend on it. Fantastic! Republican propaganda has convinced millions of future recipi- ents that they will be better off without Social Security. This is like wolves convinc- ing sheep that killing them will be an act of kindness. These and numerous right-wing "culture wars" issues are being funded by millionaires and billion- aires who will benefit from pushing an authoritarian agenda. While demonstra- tors wave signs and holler about "freedom" and "lib- erty" what they really mean is their freedom and liberty to control those of us who do not agree with them. Anger over the recent eco- nomic crash has blinded them to reasonable and constructive solutions that could benefit all of us. Please do not allow your- selves to be manipulated by the 1 percent and the right- wing media.

Not 'change' for the better Barack Obama burst from obscurity in 2004 at the Democratic National Convention when he gave a stirring address affirming "one America," not De- mocrat nor Republican, not white, black, Hispanic or Asian, but one nation undi- vided. He spoke of shared goals and sacri- fices and of a future where the political parties worked together. The media were smitten with this wonderful young man of color who spoke so well with so much promise. Elected to the Senate in 2006, within months he embarked upon his unlikely campaign for the presidency Sen.

He offered "change," but did not specify what changes exactly were to be made. He left the pages blank so voters could fill in their own wishes. When his ties to the racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright could no longer be hidden by the media, he gave an eloquent speech on race and promised to bring all races together as one, as Americans. By November 2008, the financial crisis had deepened. The economy was in reces- sion; jobs were being lost in the millions. The war in Iraq was winding down with problems still to be solved. The war in Afghanistan seemed interminable. Presi- dent Bush had signed onto a foolish tax re- bate and a massive bailout of the financial system on advice from his treasury secre- tary and against his market principles. Can- didate John McCain was looking foolish and incompetent. Voters thought: Why not give this young black candidate a chance? He seemed bright enough and sincere in what he prom- ised. Would it not be a pleasure to be part of electing the first black president? Would it not be likely that a black president could help to heal the black-white divide in America. What would it say to the rest of the world, if the man leading America were black? What harm could there be in voting for Barack Obama? If he really were as rad- DEBATE Continued from Page C1 He needed people to see him as a president, un- flinching next to the guy who currently has the job. In 10 battleground states, none of the nonpartisan polling since before the re- cent Democratic and Repub- lican conventions had found Romney holding a lead. Romney's mission was to ical as some of the fringe media suggested, the requirements of the office and consti- tutional checks on executive power would limit harm to the nation. It was easy to vote for Obama in 2008. He won a landslide victory But President Obama is no longer a blank sheet upon which each voter can write his aspirations. Under his watch, political and racial relationships have worsened. The class warfare used to foster his re-election pits rich against poor, black against white. His Environmen- tal Protection Agency punishes carbon fuels in favor of green en- ergy, raising energy costs to con- sumers. His Energy Department favors failed companies run by Democrat contributors. He bor- rowed nearly $800 billion to give to union supporters under the am Dixon guise of stimulating the economy He promised unemployment lev- IER els below 8 percent and millions CES of new jobs. The jobless numbers increased. He put 17 percent of our economy health care - under control of government bureaucrats. His foreign policy of "leading from behind" cost him the favor of our allies and gained us the disrespect of our enemies. American leadership in the free world under Obama has achieved a new low. Was this the "fundamental change" the voters wanted? Did voters want America to become like a European welfare state, fail- ing economically, defenseless and suffering from cultural malaise? If so, they should be pleased with this president If not, re-elect- ing Barack Obama in 2012 and expecting something different would be a triumph of hope over experience. Because I have children and grandchil- dren, and because I believe in the founding principles of this great nation, I hope expe- rience triumphs this November.

The more the wealthy are con- demned, the less likely they are to step for- ward to grow our economy After a demand for Romney to reveal his 2011 tax return, he did so and immedi- ately there was an outcry because he paid his full liability, the same as anyone else did! Anyone else who earns most of their in- come from investment growth pays the same tax rate he did. The argument is being twisted to compare a fair income tax rate to social insurance rates while on these; Rom- ney pays the same rate as anyone else. His Social Security and Medicare tax on wages are the same as anyone else and he pays the same sales tax rate as anyone else. Also, if he purchases a luxury item that most of us cannot purchase, he pays a punitive tax on the item. That tax money is used to sustain some of the excessive federal spending.

We have very well qualified Republican candidates running for school superinten- dent, sheriff, clerk of the court, and state representative. A vote for them will ensure that we have chosen the best-qualified per- sons who have our best interest as their goal. Robert E. Hagaman is Citrus County Republican state committeeman. He resides in Homosassa. COMMENTARY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 C3 I a H R CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE ,,.Ia 7bW.by N Fwhm Clearing the air A few nights ago I probably caused some hard feelings with some I consider my friends. It stemmed from a political discus- sion (what's new?). Naturally we had different views of our na- tion's current political direction. I, like thousands of my com- rades, gave more than 20 years of our lives standing up for, and protecting this America I love. During my 20-plus years in the military I stood up and served her then, and I will continue to stand up for her when, in my opinion, her future is in jeopardy Personally I'm convinced that the current administration's ideology of wealth redistribu- tion and their idea of"funda- Letter to the EDITOR mentally changing America" (to what?) is not in America's best interests. We do not need to "fundamentally change Amer- ica." We do need to revert back to the "Fundamentals of Amer- ica" put in place by our forefa- thers in the Constitution of this great nation. I believe we Americans are currently in an untenable posi- tion brought on by both political parties. For most of my life I was a registered Democrat When the moderate Democrats died and became progressives, I switched to the Republican Party About 10 years of being a registered Re- publican, I found that the Repub- lican Party, too, was no longer adhering to our Constitution, so I have been a registered Inde- pendent for the past eight years. At heart I am a libertarian (if you're not sure what a libertar- ian believes in, look it up). America's problems seem to be, we elect people based on their speaking abilities, good looks, etc., not on the issues fac- ing this country For me a politi- cal platform consisting of the words "hope and change" or "fundamentally changing Amer- ica" tells me nothing. Hope for what change would be my ques- tion. Fundamentally changing America to what, would be an- other question. All in all, I'm sorry my friends and I had a somewhat heated discussion causing ill feelings and I just wanted to clear the air. Bob Locher Crystal River . AID AL.

She has done a terrific job in helping the newspaper grow and serve customers over the years. John Murphy will assume the circulation director position. John is another veteran of the newspa- per who first joined us as an ad- vertising sales person. He has managed our online department, our classified sales effort and now will move to circulation. John is one of the smartest tech- nical people who works at the paper and he is the first guy I call whenever my computer doesn't work. Unfortunately, that is a fre- quent occurrence and is usually due to operator error John is usu- ally too nice or smart to mention that. John is a real leader in our com- munity He serves as a Boy Scout leader in Inverness and has been a longtime director on the cham- ber of commerce. Next year, John will become the president of the countywide chamber Tom Feeney is the production manager of the Chronicle, and he will now assume responsibilities for our distribution service. Tom has also been with the company since he was a teenager and now oversees the pressroom, mail- room, warehouses and now distri- bution. Our distribution services center on the delivery of other newspapers in this market. Some folks don't realize, but the Chronicle also delivers the Tampa Bay Times, The New York Times, the New York Post, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Financial Times to residents of our service area. Tom is also very involved in the community He serves as the assis- tant district governor for the Rotary Clubs in the county and plays in al- most every golf tournament in the area. Tom hits the golf ball longer than any employee at the Chronicle, and he also spends the most time searching for his golf balls in the backyards of golf course residents. Long doesn't always mean straight. He lives in Homosassa with his wife, Karen. Deb Kamlot has returned to the Chronicle recently, and she now serves as HR director and as our community affairs director. Deb, who lives in Inverness with her two baseball-crazy sons, will now lead our sponsorship efforts with community groups. Newspapers are institutions that serve a community The Chronicle has served Citrus County since 1894, so those of us lucky enough to work here recog- nize we serve for a period of time and then we turn over the respon- sibility to the next generation. But those who lead have each left their mark and have made this a better place. I appreciate the efforts of all of those coming and going.

But law- makers suspended annual increases, leaving Gillis wondering how he'll pay medical bills and whether he'd been betrayed by his former employer. "When you're working, you're told you'll get cer- tain things, and you retire believing that to be the case," Gillis said. He and other retirees are chal- lenging the pension changes in a court battle that's likely to have na- tional implications as other states follow Rhode Island's lead. Cities and states around the country are shoring up battered retirement plans by reducing promised benefits to public workers and retirees. All told, states need $1.4 trillion to fulfill their pension obli- gations. It's a yawning chasm that threatens to wreck government budg- ets and prompt tax hikes or deep cuts to education and other programs. The political and legal fights challenge the clout of public-sector unions and test the venerable idea that while state jobs pay less than private- sector employment, they come with the guarantee of early retirement and generous benefits. Actions taken by states vary. California limited its annual pension payouts, while Kentucky raised re- tirement ages and sus- pended pension increases. Illinois reduced benefits for new employees and cut back on automatic pension increases. New Jersey last year increased employee retirement contributions and suspended pension increases. Nowhere have the changes been as sweeping as in Rhode Island, where public sector unions are suing to block an overhaul Associated ress Retired social worker Jim Gillis stands in front of his home Wednesday in Warwick, R.I. Gillis was told his $36,000 Rhode Island state pension would increase by $1,100 next year to keep up with inflation. But lawmakers sus- pended annual increases, leaving Gillis wondering how he'll pay medical bills and whether he'd been betrayed by his former employer. passed last year. The law raised retirement ages, suspended pension in- creases for years and cre- ated a new benefit plan that combines traditional pensions with something like a 401(k) account. "This saved $4 billion for the people of Rhode Island over 20 years," said state Treasurer Gina Rai- mondo, a Democrat who crafted the overhaul. "Rhode Island is leading the way I expect others to follow, frankly because they have to." Public employee unions say Rhode Island is reneg- ing on promises to workers. "What they did was ille- gal," said Bob Walsh, ex- ecutive director of the National Education Asso- ciation Rhode Island. "We're deep into a real as- sault on labor. It worries me that people who pur- port themselves as De- mocrats do this." The court case foreshad- ows likely battles else- where as states grapple with their own pension problems. In the past two years, 10 states suspended or cut retiree pension in- creases; 13 states now offer hybrid retirement plants that combine pensions with 401(k)-like plans. "Forty-three states from 2009 to 2011 did something, but in many cases some- thing was not enough," said David Draine, a re- searcher who tracks pen- sion changes at the Pew Center on the States. States are discovering the political challenge of reining in pensions is only one step in a battle ulti- mately won or lost in the courts. A plan to enroll new Louisiana state workers in a 401(k)-like retirement plan is being challenged by retirees. New Hamp- shire is defending a law that cuts pension benefits and increases employee contributions. California Gov Jerry Brown last month ap- proved higher retirement ages and contribution rates for some state work- ers and a $132,000 cap on annual pension payouts. The state's two main pen- sion funds the Califor- nia Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement Sys- tem are underfunded by $165 billion. Brown said the changes may lead to bigger pen- sion reforms in the future. Unions are ready for a fight. "Any additional pension reform they try to do will be met with serious oppo- sition," said Dave Low, of Californians for Retire- ment Security, which rep- resents 1.5 million public workers. "Public employ- ees have become the whipping boy" Unions note states have long neglected to con- tribute enough to pay for promised benefits. In 2010, 17 states set aside no new money for pension benefits. Kentucky hasn't made its share of pension contributions since 2004. In the past decade, Kansas and New Jersey haven't paid their full shares a single year, and Illinois has done so only once. Steep pension fund in- vestment losses made the situation far worse a federal report said state and local pension plans lost $672 billion during fis- cal years 2008 and 2009. Longer-lived retirees, higher health care bills and pension increases also drive costs. In Rhode Island, 58 percent of re- tired teachers and 48 per- cent of state retirees receive more in their pen- sions than in their final years of work. Before Rhode Island's reforms passed in Novem- ber, its pension costs were set to jump from $319 mil- lion in 2011 to $765 million in 2015 and $1.3 billion in 2028. The state's annual budget is $7 billion. Passing the changes wasn't easy Public em- ployees rallied at the Statehouse and jeered lawmakers during floor debate. Firefighters lined the walls of committee hearings. Rep. Donna Walsh called the vote the "most heart-wrenching, gut-wrenching vote" she'd cast in 12 years as a lawmaker. One of the biggest changes involved putting off pension increases for five years, and then only if pension investments per- form well. North Providence re- tiree Jamie Reilly left her job as a secretary at age 50, thinking her 30 years of state employment would mean good benefits during her later years. But now she said she may be forced to re-enter the workforce at age 55 be- cause the state has put off pension increases. "I counted on that money," Reilly said of the increases, which she esti- mates would have started at $700 to $1,000 a year "I retired knowing I was going to get a certain amount of money You work all your life and you plan, and they take it away from you." annuity DEAR BRUCE: My father is 80 years old. A while ago, he opened an annuity ac- count with his bank. He withdrew money from the account and did not pay any taxes at the time. When he files his taxes, will he have to pay taxes on his withdrawal? He doesn't make much money Is there a way to calculate how much he will owe if he does? - Reader, via email DEAR READER: I can- not give you a specific an- swer without knowing more details about your father, the type of annuity, etc. This is not a problem that should be difficult to solve, however Gather up all of your father's infor- mation and go to a CPA, an enrolled agent or any of the tax services that oper- ate national chains. The cost for such tax advice should be relatively mod- est. There are just some things you shouldn't try to do yourself. Given the minimum in- come you have mentioned your father has, it's un- likely there will be a tax liability. DEAR BRUCE: I'm going to inherit my fa- ther's house. His attorney has set it up to add my name to the deed after my father's death. There is also a will to fall back on if need be. What are the capital gains laws in Florida cur- rently? Must I own and live in the property so many years? I tried to ask these questions of my fa- ther's attorney, but he won't answer them since he represents my father. - J.T. in Florida DEAR J.T: First of all, I don't understand why the attorney won't answer your questions. Unless you and your father are at odds, your father can cer- tainly instruct his attorney to answer any questions you might have. If you were to add your name on your father's deed now, there could be some possible tax compli- cations, gift tax and so forth. I think it would be better to wait until your dad passes away to add your name to the deed, as the attorney intends; then the property will pass to you through death, and the lifetime exclusion will See Page D4 'Changing of the Guard' Not your parents' barcodes very hour on the hour, a "Changing of the Guard" occurs at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery The British perform a similar ritual at both Buckingham Palace and Wind- sor Castle.

Leadership Citrus applications open Applications are now being accepted for the Leadership Citrus Class of 2013. Leader- ship Citrus has been active in the community for 21 years, and participants have gained a higher level of awareness and understanding of Citrus County and all it has to offer. Leadership Citrus is a five- month program that meets every other week. A limited num- ber of applicants will be selected to participate in the program by a committee made up from the Leadership Citrus Board. The process involves filling out an application and going through an interview process. Selected members will be notified through the mail in December and classes will start in January. Class membership is open to Citrus County residents, and members of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce will re- ceive a discount. Cost of the class is $495 for Chamber mem- bers and $595 for nonmembers. Applications can be found at www.leadershipcitrus.com; ap- plications are due by Oct. 25. practices. Minimal chapter management practices in- clude, but are not limited to, strict client confidentiality, continuing education for both clients and volunteers, constant improvement of services and the mainte- nance of an appropriate and secure facility. There are other manage- ment standards to which chapters are held, all of which are established for the benefit of those we serve. Business ethics un- derpin the relationship of volunteer to client. SCORE clients in 'Good Hands' As outgoing chapter chairman I can say, without any reservations, any client who comes to Citrus SCORE Special to the Chronicle Citrus Memorial Health System will close its Homosassa-area Walk-In Clinic at the end of 2012, but the remainder of Cit- rus Memorial Healthcare Center at Sug- armill Woods will remain open for business. According to Citrus Memorial CEO Ryan Beaty, urgent care is no longer a vital need in the community. "When we opened the Walk-In Clinic in 2009, there were not many other services like it in Homosassa. Now, there are mul- tiple primary care physicians and even another urgent-care center serving the area's needs," he said. "There are, how- ever, other medical needs in Homosassa that are not being met. We'd like to ex- plore the idea of bringing in another serv- ice that the community will find valuable." The facility provides laboratory collec- tion services, pre-admission testing, reha- bilitation services and diagnostic imaging including X-ray, ultrasound, digital mam- mography, bone density, CT scanning and MRI. Additionally, primary care is avail- able at the office of Tim Peterson, M.D., and Carolyn Bautista, ARNP While the clinic will close at the end of the year, the other services will remain open. "We understand that this facility is a real convenience for patients living in the Sugarmill Woods community and others in the Southwest area of Citrus County," Beaty said. "Our goal is not to take services away, but to provide the community with the care they need to stay healthy" For information or to request a speaker for your club or civic organization, contact Katie Mehl at email@example.com.

Every year, I invest $1,200 for him and keep records so I can show him later, when he is much older, how you can make your money work for you. Do you think this is a good worth buying a smartphone just to use a QR Reader. Although there are about a thousand other reasons that I would say, if you can afford the phone and data package, get a smartphone. You won't be sorry If you already have a device that is able to use a QR Reader, but you have yet to download the app, I say yes, it's completely worth it Most QR Readers are free, and easy to use. idea? Tony, via email DEAR TONY: You can buy silver bars any number of places, such as dealers. But for your purpose, that would not be my choice. Bars are for the big guys, not for you. The reason is you would want to have them assayed at purchase, even though they're labeled, to protect your interests. As you know if you have listened to my radio pro- gram or read my column over the years, I consider I use "Microsoft tag," because it's reliable. I also really like that it keeps track of the websites and information through the QR Codes that I have scanned. I hear Kaywa has a good QR Reader, and at work I use their QR Code creator often. There are larger advantages for consumers to use QR Codes other than just getting to the information quicker. Many "investments" in metals to be a speculation, not an in- vestment. They don't pay in- terest. There is some expense in keeping them, such as a safe-deposit box. If you do invest in metals, I would definitely invest only in coinage. And I would be far more comfortable buying coins that are numis- matically valuable instead of valued only for their metal content. For the amounts you're talking about, consider sil- companies are giving discounts and special privileges to people who use their QR Codes. So you may be reading a magazine, see an ad for that cruise you have been dreaming about taking, and see a QR Code that, if you scan, you can enter a contest to win that cruise. The disadvantages are it takes up some memory on your phone. ver dollars, probably Mor- gans, or gold coins such as Saint-Gaudens. Buy the kinds of coins that coin col- lectors are going to want, and that means the very best quality you can find. They should be in superior condition and should be at- tested as such by a reliable agency Over a period of time, and for a kid who's only 3, these coins likely will pay a great deal more in appreciation than would speculating en- Danielle Kerese is the multi-media designer at the Citrus County Chronicle.

These handy little contain- ers can be used in a variety of ways. Many of these uses will work for plastic Parmesan cheese shakers, too. Cinnamon and sugar: Combine cinnamon and sugar into a Sara shaker and you'll Sar have it ready for FRU toast or French LIV toast, oatmeal, hot cocoa or coffee. Glitter: Add glitter to shakers for craft projects. You can add colored sand to them, too. Easy ornament: Clear glass salt and pepper shak- ers filled with candy make great gifts or Christmas or- naments. Just slip a thin satin ribbon through the holes on the top, tie closed and use the ribbon as the hanger. Stop splattering grease: When cooking eggs, grease often splatters. Keep a shaker of cornstarch ready I vinegar or potpourri. The holes in the lid release the scents and help draw in any odors. Terrarium: Add tiny plants, soil, small pebbles and moss to a clear glass saltshaker and you have a cute ^- mini-terrarium. Colored sugars -- for baked goods: Put a drop of food coloring in a con- tainer that has a Noel tight lid, add a GAL couple of table- NG spoons of sugar and shake. Spread on a plate and shake again if it clumps. Store in an airtight container. Save spice jars with the shaker top or reserve a saltshaker to store the sugar. Vases: Group various shakers and use them as miniature vases for wild- flowers. They fit perfectly on a window ledge. Photo stand: Use a salt- shaker as a base to create a photo stand. Coil 20-gauge craft wire. Insert the wire into the holes in the lid.

Safe drinking water: A guide Learn contaminants, and how to combat them LETITIA L. STAR Natural Home & Garden Although for most of us the tap water runs out of the faucet clear, tasteless and odorless, our municipalities must work hard to filter an ever-increas- ing array of both natural and manmade pollutants from our groundwater. And even if it meets legal standards, your tap water may still contain pollu- tants. Getting informed about drinking water quality is a good idea for everyone, but particularly those of us who live with children, are sensi- tive to chemicals or have weak- ened immune systems. The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 is the main federal law establishing standards for drinking water quality. Under this law, all U.S. municipal tap water is treated to remove pol- lutants in accordance with fed- erally mandated maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) set by the EPA. State and local governments may also set water safety laws. But despite federal, state and local water regulations, contaminants can still make their way into our water sup- ply The Environmental Work- ing Group (EWG) recently analyzed nearly 20 million records from state water offi- cials and discovered that "test- ing by water utilities has found 315 pollutants in the tap water Americans drink." More than half of these detected chemi- cals aren't subject to health or safety regulations and can legally be present in any amount. And although federal guidelines do govern the oth- ers, 49 of these contaminants were found to exceed set levels in different parts of the coun- try, thus polluting the tap water of 53.6 million Americans. Because of these kinds of re- ports, consumer concern about tap water safety has increased in recent years.

Choosing a tree for your landscape Perhaps the most famous lines writ- ten about trees were those penned by Joyce Kilmer in 1913: "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree." As lovely as trees appear to the casual observer, trees are living historical symbols with an economic and ecological im- at portance unequaled by any other group of plants. While -- trees are many things to many people, by definition they are woody perennial plants, typi- cally having a single stem or Joan B] trunk growing to a considerable FLOE height and bearing lateral FRIE branches at some distance from LIV the ground. LI You may not have given it much thought, but trees differ from shrubs in that shrubs are usually shorter, and have multiple stems springing directly from the ground. Although some tropical vines can grow several hundred feet into the canopy of a rain forest, their stems are weak and cannot support the plants. This r R I characteristic distinguishes them from trees, which stand upright on their own. Trees are classified into two categories: evergreen and deciduous. Those that paint the landscape in shades and tones of green all year are evergreens; those that shed their leaves are deciduous. SEvergreen trees are further divided into conifers and broadleaved trees. Trees with needles, such as pines, firs and spruces, and those with scale- like leaves, such as cedars and adshaw junipers, are called conifers, IEDA- because they produce their QDLY seeds in cones. Almost all conifers are evergreen; the ING most notable exceptions are the larches (found in cooler tem- perate northern hemisphere, i.e. Canada), the dawn redwood (North Carolina) and the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), which shed their needles in fall. All de- ciduous trees are broad-leaved, as are a small number of evergreens such as the See TREES/Page E15 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Inside... ~i, Autumn hue PAGE E8 Real Estate Digest PAGE E12 For current property transac- tions, use the search features on the website for the Citrus County Property Appraiser's Office, www.pa.citrus.fl.us.

In the garden: Use a salt- shaker to dispense tiny seeds evenly when sowing. One reader, Susie from Minnesota, shares another idea: "Getting seeds to sprout can be difficult. I use gelatin to help fight disease. I sow my seeds and add gelatin to a salt- shaker and sprinkle the gelatin over the seeds. Then I mist the seeds and cover with wet paper tow- els. Once the seeds have sprouted, I remove the paper towels. When water- ing, I add a teaspoon of gel- SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 E7 atin to a gallon of liquid fertilizer, too."

As vibrant shades of orange fill the outdoors, they're also becoming increas- ingly popular inside. Upholstery fabrics, paint colors, furni- ture and accessories that range from neon orange to tangerine to terra cotta are get- ting attention this season. But orange isn't for everyone. When in- terior designers suggest decorating with orange, clients can get nervous. Designer Kyle Schuneman often eases homeowners into using orange by suggesting variations on it. "The idea of orange can sound juvenile and unsophisticated," Schuneman says. "But if you go with umbers, burnt bricks or terra cottas, you can sell a client on the idea much easier" The key, he says, is using orange cre- atively and carefully Here, Schuneman and designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Betsy Burnham offer tips on decorating with the color orange, and avoiding the pitfalls of using it badly How much to use? Orange can be overpowering as the main color in a room. But, like red, it works brilliantly as an accent color. "I don't suggest painting your walls or- ange," Burnham says. "But maybe there's an orange in the print on your pillows." It can be casual ("maybe you bring in a garden stool that's bright orange"), or chic and sophisticated ("think of Hermes or- ange, those shopping boxes"), she says. In a bedroom with muted, gray-blue See Page E9 E8 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE I ORANGE Continued from Page E8 walls, Burnham opted to add lac- quered end tables in a rich shade of orange. Orange paint can also be a great way to spruce up a dated piece of furniture. "Think about painting a great old chest of drawers a beautiful shade in a high gloss," Schuneman says, "and changing out the knobs to really spe- cial crystal knobs to make a state- ment piece in a room." Which shades are best? All three designers like earthy burnt orange tones that are almost as brown as they are orange. "With a burnt orange, you'd be sur- prised what the paint chip looks like," Burnham says. "It looks more like a brown. But you paint a piece of furniture that color, and it reads or- ange. It does what it's supposed to do - it brings some whimsy" Flynn also likes using red-orange, "ideal for more youthful or edgy rooms." The style of your home may help determine which shades you choose, says Schuneman. "Terra cotta is a beautiful backdrop for a traditional or retro feeling space, while pops of a more neon orange could be really fun for a modern space." Whatever tone you choose, Schune- man suggests testing a sample if you've decided to take the plunge and paint with orange. "Try three or four different shades," he says, and view them in various types of day- light and artificial light. Also, he says, "orange is a lot like red when you're painting, so you're going to need three or four coats to get an even finish. But the end prod- uct will be a beautiful cozy space." Just one word of warning: "Don't go with a true shade of orange," Schune- man says. "It will feel like 'Pee-Wee's Playhouse."' Where does it work? Orange can look good anywhere in your home, but these designers say it's especially beautiful for bed- rooms. "Orange is my favorite choice for kids' rooms, because it's totally gen- der-neutral," Flynn says. "My favorite combo for a kids' space is tangerine and white. It's clean and classic." Schuneman agrees: "I love a warm See Page E12 -tE1R1VIN[- ALL O I COUNTY PINE RIDGE 1481 Pine Ridge Blvd. Beverly Hills, FL 34465 (352) 527-1820 w Prudential Florida Showcase Properties CITRUS HILLS 20 W.

"It really works well with dim lighting at night, but also can invigorate you to wake up in the morning." Burnham is using orange and white gingham print draperies, along with navy blue and dark denim up- holstery, to decorate the bedroom of a pre-teen boy "It's boyish, but sophisticated," she says. "Not over- the-top country or anything. Sort of preppy" What goes with orange? "I love pairing gray with orange," Schuneman says. "It immediately amps up the hip factor and brings it into a contemporary setting. It works well because gray has a cool base, where orange is warm. So the balance really creates harmony in a room." Along with pale grays and deep charcoals, orange also goes well with dark and light blues and also browns, taupe, cream or white. Burnham cautions against pairing orange with other tropical colors or other harvest colors, like red and yellow. The room can easily begin to feel as though you've taken those themes too far Rather than piling on all the fall colors at once, Schuneman suggests pairing orange only with brown: "I think you can create a really beautiful monotone room of creams, off whites and browns," he says, "and pop it with orange to create a cozy feel. Use different textures in these similar color tones ... jutes, velvets and linens for that cozy fall feel." What to avoid? "I find yellow-orange the hardest to work with," Flynn says, "because it's very limited in accent color choices." Burnham agrees, saying it's best to avoid "that school-bus orange." If you're going with a bright orange, just be sure you'll enjoy it long-term. Edgy, bright shades are "really going to pop and give your room some personality," Burnham says. But "a little goes a long way," and what's hot today may quickly go out of style. "Like any trend," she says, "use it sparingly" Real Estate DIGEST Pilny, MacDonald hit new highs The associates and staff of RE/MAX Realty One are very pleased to an- nounce that two more agents have passed the multi-million dollar mark in sales volume this year.

William later revisited the beautiful trees and collected seeds, which were planted in Philadelphia. For reasons unknown, this tree was never again seen in the wild after 1803, so the seeds William collected are the source of all known Franklinia trees in existence today (Franklinia, hardy to USDA zones 5- 8, is a small to medium-size tree with white, fragrant, camellia-like blos- soms that open in mid-summer, and leaves that turn coppery red in fall. Good soil drainage is a must.) The Schuylkill River site also be- came a commercial plant nursery Among the 220 species the Bartrams offered in 1783 were tulip poplar trees and poison ivy vines. (Admit it, poison ivy is a handsome plant much of the year.) Under the leadership of another son, John Jr, Bartram's granddaugh- ter, Ann, and her husband, Robert Carr, the nursery flourished. By the 1830s, 4,000 species of plants were being raised there, and there was greenhouse space for 10,000 potted plants. Bartram's nursery supplied plants for such gardens as Jefferson's Monti- cello and Washington's Mount Vernon. It was the first American nursery to publish a catalog. Compare that catalog -now on dis- play at Bartram's Garden and consist- ing of nothing more than a list of plants with the splashy photo- graphs and hyperbole of catalogs today Native American plants were the I7"21.

Ben was thoughtful enough to include a recipe for tofu, as well. Another plant from China, a gingko tree, was planted in 1785 and survives today It may be the oldest gingko tree in North America. Like many old gardens, Bartram's fell into disrepair for awhile. Indus- trial sprawl creeping along the Schuylkill threatened the site when family members lost interest in the nursery in the middle of the 19th century To the rescue came Philadelphia in- dustrialist Andrew Southwick, who bought the property, proclaiming, "I don't want a solitary branch cut ... so that not a bush of this beloved old gar- den shall be disturbed." Unfortunately, with Southwick's death, the property was again sold, this time resulting in the loss of many plants. Salvation returned in 1891 when the property was bought by the City of Philadelphia. Restoration efforts were spurred by the discovery, in 1950, of a sketch made by William or John of their 8-acre botanical garden. In addition to many of the plants grown by the Bartrams, the present Historic Bartram's Gardens also in- cludes an education center housed in the stone barn built by John Bartram in 1775, as well as a wildflower meadow and the furnished Bartram home. More recently, a community garden and orchard were added to the site. The Bartrams would have approved. WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD SELL YOUR HOME!

(352) 746-9924 A look at pansies and violets Fall days are less hot and shorter than summer ones. Nights are cooler and longer. Summer annual plants have set and shed their seeds and begun to die off. It is time to pull the failing summer annuals to add to the back yard compost pile. Heat generated by decomposition rises to more than 130 degrees the tem- perature where most seeds are cooked to death. Some seeds are hardy enough to survive winter frosts. Others need the cold to stratify the seed case so moisture can penetrate in spring. Seeds that were shed beneath the plants in the gar- den bed are likely to sprout next spring. A sure sign of autumn is the appearance of colorful bed- ding annuals in nurseries, su- permarkets and home improvement stores. Pansies are a popular favorite. They are sold in flat trays, individual pots and hanging baskets. A flat of pansies usually comes in one color, ideal for massed plantings. Those in hanging baskets could be frozen right through the pot so must be taken indoors on frosty nights. Planted in a bed and sur- rounded by a few inches of pine nee- dle or leaf litter mulch, these bed- ding annuals should thrive through Florida's mild winter Pansies, heart- sease and violets are members of the Jane Viola genus found in most temperate re- JAI gions world wide. GAR Some are annuals, others either deciduous or evergreen perennials. A few of the 500 Viola species are al- most shrub-like. Some grow in cooler mountainous regions within the tropics such as the Andes Mountains of South America. Most species come from North America, the Andes and Japan. Violas typically have three spreading lower petals and two erect upper petals. A short nectar spur may be at the back of the flower. Perennial, ever- green Florida violet and Wooly Blue Violet, V sororia, are na- tive to Florida. The pretty wild pansy popularly called Johnny Jump Up, V tricolor, produces neat little tricolored flowers in Weber IE'S DEN yellow, blue, violet and white. It has ap- pealing face-like markings. Imported from Europe, it has naturalized in North America from cold zone 4 to warmer zone 10. It may be annual in freezing zones or bi- ennial in temperate zones. In Central Florida it lasts sev- eral years in zones with light frosts. Pansies with flowers over an inch wide are usually hybrids of a European species and named Viola X wittrockiana. They are compact and densely branched. Most are frost-hardy and can survive short freezes. Although perennial in Cold Zones 5 to 10, they are grown in Florida as winter annual plants. Locally, the torrid heat of our Heat Zone 10 summer effectively kills these hybrids. Pansies can have a flower up to 4 inches across. Somewhat flat-faced, the five petals may have a face of a different color. For example purple on white, See JANE/Page E15 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 E13 E14 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2012 WATER Continued from Page E5 (WQA), 54 percent of con- sumers polled were con- cerned about contaminants in tap water, and 49 percent were concerned or very con- cerned about their house- hold water supply "We are seeing people be- come more educated about water issues and finding ways to ensure water quality for their families," says Peter J. Censky, WQA executive di- rector Although safety regu- lations do ensure at least a minimal level of cleanliness and safety in municipal water supplies, taking re- sponsibility for the health of our own drinking water is smart. Indeed, even the President's Cancer Panel recommends the use of home filtering devices to de- crease exposure to cancer- causing agents. To ensure you have safe drinking water in your home, take these steps: Every year by July 1, your water supplier will mail you an annual Consumer Confi- dence Report (also called the Drinking Water Quality Report). You may also be able to find your report on the EPAs website. The EPA offers online tools to help you learn how to read the re- port at its Local Drinking Water Information page. You also may find your local and state reports in the EWG's National Drinking Water Database. While these reports offer an analysis of your local water at its source, it's also wise to directly test your tap water at home. Some con- taminants, such as lead, could leach through pipes and household plumbing, and therefore not be de- tected before water enters your home. Relatively inex- pensive home water-testing kits are available at hard- ware stores. You could also obtain professional tests on your water; the EPA recom- mends contacting your state certification program for a list of certified laboratories. Drinking water contami- nants come from many sources: Radon, radium and arsenic are naturally occur- ring, while microorganisms, pesticides and nitrates come from people, animals and in- dustry Here are a few con- taminants to specifically watch out for: U Chromium-6 (Hexava- lent chromium): You may be familiar with this highly toxic chemical from the movie Erin Brockovich. Chromium-6 occurs natu- rally from the erosion of chromium deposits, but it can also be produced by in- dustrial processes and re- leased into the environment by poor storage or inade- quate industrial waste dis- posal practices. In a 2010 tap water survey, the EWG found this known carcinogen in 31 of the 35 American cities tested-that's 89 percent While chromium-3 is an im- portant dietary element, chromium-6 is believed to cause many serious health problems, including cancer The EPAs maximum level of chromium was set in 1991, but in 2008, the agency began a rigorous and comprehen- sive review of chromium-6 health effects based on new science.

This common herbicide is thought to poten- tially cause endocrine dis- ruption, cancer and reproductive disorders. Stud- ies have linked high levels of atrazine in the water supply to birth defects in children, and in one study male frogs exposed to atrazine trans- formed into fully functioning female frogs. Use of the her- bicide is particularly high in the Midwest, where it's used on crops in spring. Six states - Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi and Ohio - recently settled a lawsuit against Syngenta, the manu- facturer of atrazine, for mil- lions to subsidize the chemical's removal from the public water supply Atrazine is among the pollutants dis- cussed in the 2012 water quality documentary Last Call at the Oasis, which fea- tures Erin Brockovich and other environmental experts. Chlorine and chlo- ramines. Chlorine is com- monly used by municipalities to help purify the local water supply How- ever, chlorine can combine with organic matter in water to create chlorination by- products, which could poten- tially cause cancer, according to NSF International, an in- dependent nonprofit organi- zation that provides standards development, product certification and risk management to help protect the world's food, water and health. Some mu- nicipalities have switched from chlorine to chloramine (a combination of chlorine and arsenic) to treat water Although the EPA classifies both as safe at levels used in drinking water, both chlorine and chloramine are toxic at high levels and have been as- sociated with health risks. If your local water utility uses chloramines as a disinfec- tant, make sure the water fil- tration system you use is certified specifically for chloramines, and not only chlorine, the NSF recommends. Lead. Lead is a highly toxic metal. If your home was built before 1986, it's more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures and solder, according to the EPA. Even legally "lead-free" plumbing in newer homes may contain up to 8 percent lead. No amount of lead exposure is considered safe drinking lead-contaminated water could result in physical and mental development delays in babies and children. Adults aren't immune: Watch out for blood pressure in- creases and kidney prob- lems. Because lead is more likely to enter drinking water through the corrosion of plumbing materials where water has high acidity or low mineral content, the EPA is- sued the Lead and Copper rule, which requires treat- ment systems to make drink- ing water less corrosive to the materials it comes into contact with on its way to consumers' taps. You can read more about lead expo- sure at the EPAs website. While many filter tech- nologies exist, those most adept at removing contami- nants include carbon or charcoal filtration and re- verse osmosis. Carbon filters vary in effectiveness; some remove chlorine only while others remove a range of contaminants, including lead and mercury You will find carbon filters in carbon block and granulated acti- vated carbon varieties. In general, carbon block filters are more effective. Carbon filters cannot effectively re- move many inorganic pollu- tants such as arsenic, fluoride or nitrate, according to the EWG. Reverse osmosis filters are adept at removing inor- ganic contaminants not re- moved by carbon filters. You can sometimes find combi- nation carbon/reverse osmo- CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE sis filters, which remove a wide range of organic and inorganic pollutants. How- ever, reverse osmosis filters use three to 20 times the water they produce, so limit their use to drinking and cooking water Other filter types you may encounter include ozone and UV (ultraviolet). These are effective at removing or killing bacteria and microor- ganisms but not chemical contaminants.

You're not alone; most frugal people love hear- ing about thrift store finds. I know I do. Dear Sara: I have a HUGE zucchini in my fridge. I want to make zucchini bread eventually (not today or tomor- row), but I think it would make a dozen or more. Can you freeze zucchini? Can you just grate it and freeze it in indi- vidual portions to use for baking later? I don't want it to go to waste. I eat zuc- chini sauteed each week, but this would be enough to feed my fiancee and I for a month. -Marie, New York Dear Marie: Yes, you can freeze grated zucchini. Be sure to cut and scoop out the seeds. Your life will be easier if you freeze it in the cup meas- urements needed for your bread recipe. You can add the grated zucchini website is also designed to provide ex- tensive cultural and maintenance in- formation with supporting photographs.
